    If I were you, I'd consider using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer (if you don't already), and installing SpywareBlaster and Spybot-S&D, which will block a lot of viruses and other junk from being installed on your PC.

    Just remember to keep your antivirus and any malware blocking software (like SpywareBlaster and Spybot) updated so you always have the best protection.

    Hope this helps...

    Used to be the case with 7.5, but free 8.0 seems to be causing problems, have a look on techie board.
    Move along, nothing to see.
