How do I protect my computer from adware, spyware, and other malware threats?

It is very important that you frequently check for updates, and run an anti-virus program such as AVG or Norton, and malware removal utility such as Ad-Aware, Webroot Spysweeper, or SpyBot Search and Destroy frequently to ensure your internet connection does not get choked by spyware and malware trying to use your internet connection. Like any public internet connection, including dialup, DSL, and cable, wireless networks are not inherently secure.
