I haven't had spyware, for over three months.
Im guilty of using:
1) Use P2P applications often
3) Visit porn sites often
4) Visit seedy warez sites
As for security software, I have Kasperksy AV, Kaspersky Anti-Hacker(Firewall), Spybot Search & Destroy, Spysweeper (not using real-time detection), Mozilla Firefox (0.8), & lastly PeerGuardian.
Under settings for Mozilla, I only accept cookies from originating site, and current session, because usually third party cookies are spyware. I also look at what cookies are stored on my computer, and if the words "banner", "ad", "advertising", or anything to that nature, I use mozilla firefox, to remove and blocks cookies from that site from reoccuring.
Eventhough PeerGuardian is not supposed to be used in the way I use it, I surf the net with it on, it blocks certain types of spyware.
