Bruce, thanks for prompting me to do a bit of spring cleaning inside my 'puter. I ran updated versions of SpyBotS&D, Adaware, and my anti-virus software, (a freebie called AntiVir XP <A HREF="http://www.free-av.com/" target="_new">http://www.free-av.com/</A> ), plus Ace Utilities. Found: 362 megs of junk 15 worms 72 "objects" Holy Cow! I have a physical firewall, i.e., router, so I figured I was pretty safe. HAH!
