Hi All, You people are really coming in with some good thoughts and ideas on how you do things to combat Malware. Again,I appreciate the inputs as just one person might miss something. Your methods are similar but vary in exactly how you do things.

From oldhermit - " So, even more precaution may be necessary for some than others, such as checking for modified or new created files before ever shutting the computer down.
Or checking for unidentified running processes."

This is interesting. Catch stuff that hasn't been able to work on your system. I have not tried this approach as I recall other than clear the internet temp files and a disk cleanup. How do you do this oldhermit? Anyone else do this?

From POPPY4 - "the biggest annoyance of all "my privacy and anonymity" was broached and that was more than I could take!!!.....it is "MY COMPUTER" and you don't come in until I invite you!.....excuse the rant "

That is no rant. I feel exactly the same way. Maybe all of us do when we stop and think about it.
