Yes Minos,

You are absolutely right! By my opinion there are at least three (3) main things that every serious online user should have updated on a daily base (where/if possible)...1...Good reliable Antivirus Program...2...Good Firewall Protection...and...3...Good Anti-Spyware Program!

Those 3 together could save you lots of headaches...its not that you would get 100% protection only with those ones (because there is no 100% sure thing), but its still MUCH, MUCH BETTER that way...than to have all Your computers data and everything, served on a silver plate to potential hackers!

So Guys, What do You think about it? Every advice is more than welcome!

Sure Minos I agree!

And XP SP2 Pack installed (when they finally put it together - hopefully still in 2004)

...and...bunch of other patches also....and and and...(there is always something new to install at Microsoft Update - Good old Billie Boy just loves to help all the people who like to stare thru his nice shinny blue window-screen).
