Along with Tony's suggestions (I like Spybot a little more because it is the only version, not a shareware vs free), I would strongly suggest that users install Mozilla Firefox, an outstanding browser that is void of MOST of the problems associated with IE. Firefox has been in the news a lot lately as they have released their 1.0 release; you can download Firefox here:
http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ I use it for Windows, Mac & Linux machines, so you should be able to get the version you need. There are a ton of really cool enhancements for it, also, so do yourself a favor and install it ASAP. You can read a lot about how others feel about it and the momentum behind getting it out to the general public here: http://spreadfirefox.com/ Or, try Google News: http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=Firefox&ie=UTF-8&scoring=d On Sun, 14 Nov 2004, Tony Lapp wrote: > >Hi Joe and everybody else, > > > > > > > >Ad-Aware is great.
