Because, in the past, I didn't. On my last computer, I ran Adaware and unloaded nearly 1000 files and programs. It was gross.

Nearly 1000 files and programs! I'm hoping that most of those were cookies. That's just crazy. By the way some spyware won't be stopped be a firewall as it rides piggy back on another app. I'm running Norton Firewall 2002 and a NAT Router on my network and it doesn't make a diff with some, they'll just hitch a ride on IE Explorer or the app that they installed with.
