Like the guy who turned up here yesterday with his PC that no lkonger loaded into Windows. . Even though he had been educated..............he admitted clicking yes to download the thing he couldn't remember the name of but promised to make his Win98 run so much better. |

| 555809 | 2007-06-04 07:51:00 | Thanks :) Actually . . . and as parsimonious as I am, all the listed stuff (except for the Linksys Router) are free . . . . Oh, and YES . . the Windows firewall is for incoming . . I goofed on that . . but I just got carried away again . . . sorry . I don't run System Restore, as I said it is a hidey-hole for malware . . . BUT . . here's the big butt . . . you gotta have some way to return your system to originally installed, and without a hidden partition or system restore, then the very best thing is an XP installation disc CD-Rom . . not just a repair disc . ALSO . . IF and WHEN you run your security scrubbers and cleaners, it's always best to do it in SAFE MODE . That's a given!!!!! |
