I dont use a virus scanner.

Reason? I dont get virus's. Just don't download anything or accept anything and you should be fine.

Basicly you're right, but virus scanners do also block spy-ware and add-ware. By some scanners they are market as trojans.

I wouldn't worry too much about the alerts, it only means you virus scanner is doing it's work. Spy-ware and add-ware do not harm your computer, but nobody wants them.

There other ways to get rite of them, with proggies like ad-aware and spybot S&D.

A good all in 1 solution is hitman pro.
