Thanks. I too saw MS Update file and another for Office update and I think I would be inclined to leave those. I do have Flash and others that I am inclined to dump. As a matter of interest the screensaver pop up that got through Microsoft's Pop up and Google Pop up blocker are from www.123greetings.com in case anyone needs to know. I think they are more keen to get install their screensavers that have someone select an appropriate e-card.
