Thanks Gman,
I uninstalled Earthlink Total Access, I may have to reinstall it later
though as needed. I also uninstalled Adaware. I dont use it now, isnt that
because it is not free anymore or is not updating definitions anymore, cant
recall now.
I did not see firewall applet? Not sure what to look for there.
