Hi, yes you are probably right. I have found a way to send him the zonealarm download that will be easy for him. The adaware I cannot find an easy link, it keeps leading to adaware SE which I do not think is the same thing. I have an easy link also for spybot. I need one for spyguard and for spyblaster if anyone has these, also one for clean up which is a program I use. I am setting him up with my tools as they have worked great for me thus far.
