Clint, After checking out your reference to get to the Kaspersky site, found they have a affilite in the US which is ICE - the link is given in the site.
I called them, and Kaspersky has not only the excellent anti-virus program but an anti-h*cker program as well, which is there firewall program. After all I am reading from Brian Livingston and other industry gurus, XP's SP2 is great but just does not go far enough it would seem. He and others are saying that people should use Mozzola, Netscape, Opera, Eudora, and similar, and just get away from IE and OE completely. Interesting with all that I saw in the paper today with the pending release of SP2 in the next few days.
