my site ( homepage) deals with web safety, settings, and free protection/prevention software ;-)
to view it, just click my signature ;-)
if you visit, if nothing else read Tony K's " how did i get infected"
the latest report i read said a new computer without current anti-virus and working firewall has a life expectancy of less than 20 min !!!
you need to set IE and OE correctly if you use them ( i recommend Firefox and Thunderbird myself), and have some anti-malware on your system or you will be a bot, or a full screen of popups ;-)
i have screenshots on how to install AVG and some info in french too
site info is kept current by a goat,doggie, ghost and a Phantom
