I have trend micro internet security 2009. Lately is has been finding spyware and adware. It says it deletes all of the files but it finds them every scan. It never used to find anything. Do I have a problem with my pc or is my anti-virus taking care of and problems I might have?

It means your anti-virus is doing its job but you should be careful what sites you look at, also if you haven’t already switch to browsing with Firefox.
Yes … some viruses attack right after they enter your computer …. some wait and go deep into your system and have a surprise attack that catches you off guard … HERES ANOTHER TIP : trend micro’s protection and scan sucks
A good Anti-Virus program should protect better then it detects. Good detection means finding things after the fact,"after your computer has been infected. If you are finding Spyware every day I say that’s not a good thing but be thankful your program is detecting it. Where do you go and what are you downloading that every day you have Spyware on your computer? Do you have all of your programs up to date, are old versions being replaced with up to date versions and do you keep all Windows updates up to date?
Are you sure it’s Spyware you are finding and it’s not tracking cookies?
