Does the board itself get the spyware/viruses or only the visitors?

I finally met up with my internet security company on the phone yesterday. I had been deleting spies for three day. Running anti-virus and looking at my firewall.
I made lots of protective changes to my computer before I got on the phone with support. He actually hooked up to my computer and went through everything from his end and I could watch me going through everything. It was cool.
I just love a total computer nerd. I've learned alot on my own the last week. He taught me alot more about protection on this thing we call the world wide web.
Everytime we sign on we are possbily having someone try to spam us, hack us, spy on us etc. If you have all the anti-virus, spyware and firewalls in place you should be fine. But....
I found out that I had spies galore attached to me and they were following me around, including lymenet.
When I was running sooooo slow and everything was locking up on me Monday, I went looking and found my spyware was disabled. At that time I had 170 spyware attached.
I deleted them and went to lymenet and stayed on maybe 30 minutes and logged out and I had 10 more spyware attached. All day long Thurs & Friday I was watching them watch me.
I was a cleaning fool. lol Support assured me as he snooped around in my computer while I watched that I had no viruses. He loved the way I had set my computer to now clean, sweep and delete everyday for viruses and spyware.
If you can stay ahead of them (the bad guys in www) you can help your computer and speed things up. I'm now freely go here and there on the web and not feeling so invaded.
They might have the ability to latch on to me, but they won't for long. Zap, they're gone.
Remember they don't go away. You have to keep going after them too.
