  1. You don’t appear to have an active firewall or are using XP’s firewall which provides no outbound protection.

  2. You have two resident antivirus programs, AVG and avast!
    Having two resident scanners installed is not recommended as rather than provide twice the protection it can cause conflicts that could leave you more vulnerable. You can have additional on-demand scanners or use on-lne scanners as a back-up scanner.

The AVG I referred to is the anti-spyware not the anti-virus.

  1. Ensure you have the latest version of JRE (JAVA Runtime Enviroment) because older versions can be vulnerable to malware (yours is out of date). First remove All Older Versions From Add/Remove Programs.
