I'll mirror this. My main PC is pretty well protected, but I set up a little wireless PC for my kids in the playroom. I pretty much forget it's there and just recently went in to update it and check it. They hit the internet all the time - but just sites like "Nick.com" and "Disney.com". Even tho' the machine was a plain Windows XP (no service packs) the worth thing Ad-Aware found was the Yahoo toolbar and a coupla cookies. You can definitely get lucky even if you're lazy. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:142564 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
