Stop surfing pron sites and you won't get daily infections. You sure
they are not just reporting tracking cookies? Those are not spyware
infections, tracking cookies are harmless. Apart from what you are already
using I would suggest you do some pre-emptive protection. Learn to use a
hosts file, get Spywareblaster and add Superantipsyware to your arsenal, on
top of all that run Firefox with the no-script plugin, just allow
javascript to run on websites you trust. I do all that and never get any
infections.

There are laws but they are hard to enforce when people are infecting us
from offshore countries. They did put someone away in the US recetly for
spreading spyware though.
