Dear Bj and group, Hope you are having a lovely weekend.
Bj, thanks so much for the Zone Alarm link. I just downloaded the free version and it is so user friendly! I've added 5 programs for it to "watch" However, I use Mailwasher religiously, I use the Bat with HTML turned off (always), I have AVG and now I have the Zone Alarm! How safe can I get? ;-) Very interesting...for the last few days, I've seen a few worrying emails from French ISPs as well as a few English speaking corporations. They all say basically the same thing : "The email you sent to X had a virus attached, please fix the problem." Well, I've never heard of these people to whom I "sent" an email. I wrote back to the abuse admin people explaining that I'm not the one with the problem. Tonight, I got one bounced back from Liberty Surf (one of the giants here) because their email box was full!!! Can you imagine that!?!?! Well, off I go to find out how well this new firewall works! Thanks again!
