well I sure will take all the help that I can get I am running avg virus
software and find that very good I did a scan for trojans and found none
tried to install zone alarm and it locked me up tighter than dicks hatband
to quote john Wayne and I could not even get email when the zone alarm
thing was on so I blew that off but not being able to connect to the net
is a very good way to avoid a virus but you cant get much work done that way
either so there are pluses and minuses ROFL now is that a stupid
comment or what??? I need to be on the net for online trading of
commodities
