Any good anti-spyware that actively monitors for it (Ad-aware does not, Spybot too techie) and a firewall a novice could use? OneCare is for novices, but not free and not for the 9x code. I so wish people would get off the horrid, un-stable, in-efficient 9x line. At least be up to Win 2000. More and more people are dropping 9x support including AntiVir. I went to put acrobat on it and only got v6. Wonder why? Lol! Thank you, Eric Vogel ~Windows Live! MVP~ www.msmvps.com/shelluser
