The latest viruses spread through everything from your instant messaging client to your file sharing program. Annoying new ads hijack your browser without your even clicking them.

But you can turn the tide against these pernicious pests.

We'll direct you to the most important fixes for Windows and common applications. We also point out where you need to be careful about otherwise good patches that may introduce more bugs.
