There must be something like 50 files of downloads. Can they be cleared out completely? It's not that I am short of space.....I'm only using about 20% if that of the hard drive.

If all is ok to do it, I'll clean out the Downloads file.

Spy bot is good

scan your computer daily and quit fiddling - use microsoft unless you have an apple - the other stuff usually does not work well.
I have tried chrome, firefox but always go back to Gateswear - no matter how bad it is... Less trouble.
Kick your puter once a week and let it know who is boss.
