A couple of options for you Micael. If you don't have MDK up by the 14th you could always use a free anti-virus software until you do get everything working properly. AVG from Girsoft is pretty good. If need be I have a few from cover mounted disks that offer a free year subscription, but who says you need to use them for a year.
On the subject of sharing files. If you are looking at building a network or even just having a single system online, you could always use a simple router or take an old 486 and turn it into a router as well. Some will allow you to set-up of file servers and the lot as well. Even a single system online can benefit from router IMHO. Acts as a firewall and allows you to be invisible on the net. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron J.
