I'm not sure how much good this real time protection provides. Perhaps it is because the setup here has a NAT firewall, Hosts file protection, Spywareblaster and other measures keeping things out. If a system was relying on dialup alone I would expect the problems you mention. Such things are extremely rare here, and usually result from doing something stupid. -- Regards, John Durham <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> ICQ number 497166248 Fax/Phone 64 4 5286786 Award winning web site at http://modecideas.com?sig Terms of trade at http://modecideas.com/lvl22.html?sig Order my novel (RETURN) at http://stores.lulu.com/store.php?fAcctID=1382737 PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied. -- -------list-services-below----------- Regards, John Durham (list moderator) <http://modecideas.com/contact.html?sig> Freelists login at //www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi List archives at //www.freelists.org/archives/pchelpers PC-HELPERS list subscribe/unsub at http://modecideas.com/discuss.htm?sig Latest news live feeds at http://modecideas.com/indexhomenews.htm?sig Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
