But.... these things always come when I am just out of bed, not completely awake yet, and just want to check mail quickly before breakfast. So I ran the update quickly. At some point it said that I had to update a certain windows programm or the AVG update could not be run. I clicked something to update windows and got a note that there were about 20 or so progs on windows 98 that could be upgraded and here I gave up and decided that I needed breakfast more badly. So... the AVG update finished. I got notes a few times that there was an update, but when I clicked it it said that it was already updated. Finally all notifications stopped, so I probably got an AVG update that does not run. And.... I think I also saw from a corner of my eye that I signed for a 14 days or 30 days free trial.... Ahhrrg So now I have no idea what is or isn't running and no idea how to figure it out. I was also a bit reluctant to run windows updates, because I heard some things, I think on this group about people getting computer problems doing just that. So... what should I do? Another thing that kind of worries me is that my provider Wanadoo just sent a message that as of May 17 they will only allow outgoing emails to be sent from THEIR server and that if you have other adresses you have to change them to their server as well. They say they do this to prevent the spread of virusses and spam, but for me this smells like going for a monopoly of some sorts What are the consequences of this anyway? Will I still be able to use other adresses on the cable at all? Also they give directions to change these settings ONLY for Outlook Express, which I have a dislike for, at first sight and never learned to use. (A friend of mine has a computer for the first time and uses Outlook Express and she tries to get me to explain her how to use it. She keeps on losing the messages she wants to reply to and does not know how to work with it. Well, neither do I. That mail programm completely confuses me. LOL ) My former provider also only recognised Outlook Express and they refused to give tech support for Eudora. Well, now I use Morzilla, which I love, but I guess will not get tech support for from any of the big companies. Why are they all so keen on Outlook Express anyway? It has a louzy feel to it and just seems a magnet to virusses. It must be very sick! >Set scanners to max >:-) > > How does one do that? Love, Desi ------------------------ Yahoo!
