Being on line with anything means you are being attacked,I think.
I would get Adaware and Spybot,you need all the ammo you can muster.

354269 2005-05-14 04:26:00 what spyware are you picking up?

i suspect your getting some minor thing like cookies.

unless your downloading files through MSN i doubt you would get any spyware infections via MSN.

How is the firewall configured? I see heaps of them where nothing has been blocked.
Nortons is fine for viruses but not spyware.
You should run at least 2 spyware checkers and get a blocker or two as well.
