Thinking of going back to the Netscape browser so as to keep the computor cleen. Also interested in how much it would cost for firewalls to bring WindowsXP back to the protective level of Netscape 7.1. Comments (Yes I know it is not antenna related, unless you need a computor to read antenna postings or use WindowsXP for antenna software!) Hey Art, here are my suggestions: 1. Get Zonealarm, Preferably version 4.xx 3. Get Netscape, or one of the flavors of its engine, such as Firefox. Use this to get your mail, and read newsgroups too. 4. Start Internet Exploder one last time. When Zonealarm pops up and asks if Exploder can have access to the net, then click "remember" and deny it permission. By denying IEEEEEEE! permission to ever access the web on your machine, you will be doing humanity a great favor. Same for Outlook. If you get the paid version of Zonealarm, you can have it delete all cookies every day. You can also select ones you want to keep, if any. 5. Consider using a proxy server such as Proxomitron,(freeware) especially if you are on Cable, or DSL. 6. Always change the updates feature of your computer so that you manually do the updates. If you automatically update, you will find that Microsoft may make your computer more secure by making it less operative! 8^) Hope this helps! Mike EVERY thing I am getting is a real help and an education for me I did get a private E mail that high lighted a version of Netscape that with a press of + or - you can make reading news much easier to read by enlarging the script ! I am sure that there is more than one old guy like myself on this newsgroup who would apreciate such an aid . With respect to the advice coming in, I wonder how many have checked their computors with 'adware' to verify the veracity of what they have stated? Regarding the aditional purchase of 'Zonealarm' , I am trying to resist placing more money in to computors e.t.c.when the origional suppliers of programming were derelict in providing adequate protection in the first place, but I am not totally stubborn to the idea of admitting defeat.
