[H] Secure "tunnel" software for Hotspots
I know there has been some discussion about securing browsing from "hotspots". Using IE, I know, I know, what would be the most secure, with pretty basic ease of use etc. We do like to do some online banking on the road, but its not a life or death thing. As a pastor, I have some emails to parishioners that really, actually by law now, supposed to be kept reasonably secure. (At least be able to show you tried, I know nothing is ever completely secure) What would be the suggestions? This would be for my laptop, I do use full version Zone Alarm, I also use Network Magic. When I logon to a network not my own, it "protects" the shared files that I have listed as shared on the laptop for use at home. I also use Norton Anti-Virus, and I do truly keep all updated, including XP Home security updates and patches. Any help appreciated. Harvey hbest 2 PS's one related to above problem 1. I do have XP Pro I could install, would that give me any security advantage over XP Home? 2. (Non related) Several months ago I mentioned on the list my brother committing suicide and needing to transfer some tapes to a cd, I "talked" to someone in Las Vegas I believe that offered to help. We also had a discussion of the heat/weather in Vegas. As a confirmed weather "nut" I have a few more questions I would like to ask you. If this sounds like you, please reply to the list or off list if you wouldn't mind me asking a few more questions. Appreciate it.

Me either, I will still use PC's for games and windows only apps. My wife loves the thing. We both love the widgets. Found one with a countdown till Christmas. Another tells me that my World of Warcraft Doomhammer server is up or down. Just great stuff. Now if I can get her gin rummy and yahtzee games for the damn thing.

Re: [H] AVG free edition
run system restore and go back as far as you can, can be found in
Programs\Accessories\System Tools ( or somewhere like this )
can always create a current system point for return, is kind of like a MS
wayback machine. Has on occasion been helpful.
probably will not fix the virus and trojan, would this be considered PC ED :{)

Re: [H] AVG free edition
Yes, there is always format! And, I might just go there; but, this machine only has 128MB of ram. Has a free socket, but I'm not sure I want to "donate" ram to the project/neighbor just yet. Most curious: Can anybody help with the tool/app "Restore?" System is WindowsME. This is my 1st experience with it. Not pleased with this Win98SE-Plus. ... :) (my comment) Restore seems to be an active component of WinME. I've never seen this feature before. Please excuse ... :) I would really like to delete all the past "restore points" because one of them seems to be still infected with a virus called 'Downloader.Keenval.B". AVG catches it with each scan, says it has healed it, but each new scan shows the same file still polluted with the same virus. If I could just clean/clear out all the previous restore points, I believe this virus might go away, or, move somewhere else. Any help with "restore" would be greatly appreciated. Yes, format may eventually be necessary. Having trouble with the "Dell" tools too! Thanks.

[H] Latest version of comctl32.dll
Was looking over comctl32.dll and it looks like 5 different versions on my computer. 6.0.2900.2180 being the newest. It can be found in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\ To name a few. Guess it would be nice when you installed more recent drivers, etc, that it would cover the entire install.
