Nestling amongst today's Irish Independent's tips for avoiding spyware comes this gem:

"Always type in URLs yourself rather than clicking on links."

Now, just for practice, anyone who wants to see what the last book I bought was, can type the following URL into their browser - I've reduced the temptation to cheat by not making it a link - and no copying and pasting!

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596002831/qid=1097570683/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl/026-5619208-8927615

See how silly it is?
