A couple other things to do is make sure your anti-virus is up to date and it scans your computer on a regular basis. Also make sure you have a firewall, if you have DSL or cable, don't use software firewalls, they are worthless. Go with a DLINK, Netgear or Linksys router/firewall, this will help keep the hackers out. Also, if your computer requires a password, don't use one that are easy to guess and is not in a dictionary. Make sure you use caps, lower case and numbers. Something like F0rd-C@r$ (Ford-Cars) And don't download anything unless you know who it is from. Just because someone has a cool screen saver that you like, doesn't mean it is safe for your computer. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
