extended that streak...:)

Hm. I keep hearing that, it must be a long time since I asked for help
under Windows...hm??
Is that the norm now? I suppose, it's another way to milk revenue I
guess....

Truthfully, that's prbably to be expected. Every hacker/spammer/hijacker
out there knows how popular Norton is and they write their garbage to
infiltrate it. More people running Norton equals more hits for them. If
you were using, say, AVG antivirus, and another companies spamware
killer, and anothers firewall, you'd probably end up being more secure
in the long run. The trick is the same...don't use what's advertised as
"the best"..Best=popular=bad guy target. Like painting a bulleyes on
your PC...:0

Yeah, once they get in, they try to block you from fixing it! SOmetimes
even after you succeed, they will write their program so that it will
reinstall itself....major pain.
With Linux you won't have to deal with all that as much, not even
close...but it can happen...
