I was notified today of an update popup attempt but my FREE personal firewall from Sygate prompted me in advance so I responded "NO" to downloading. Thank goodness for that, because I checked the MS Critical Update site and there were no new ones.

Isn't it awful having to put so many locks on the creeps trying to break into our computers? I have RegCleaner, AntiVir, Sygate Personal Firewall, PopUp Stopper and Spybot.

My boyfriend keeps suggesting that I start using Opera instead of MS Internet Explorer as he uses a copy he downloaded free and thinks I'd like it. He told me he saw a John (F'n) Kerry anti-Bush ad at the top of the browser today so that did it for me. I'm not going to the Opera!

NEVER NEVER NEVER hit *NO* on those pop-up ads! Just because it says no means nothing. It can just as easily load a virus by clicking on *NO*

Use the Close Window " x " at the top-right of the window. If it REFUSES to close (you'll know it's intentions for sure then!) use ALT-CTRL-DEL and shut down the IE process. You may just have to reboot at times to get rid of it.

A woman who can use RegCleaner... your boyfriend is a lucky man...

That is one great program, isn't it?
