Ah. Well there you go then ;-)

I installed the Adaware and Spybot programs as well as getting free 30 day trials of McAffee's firewall and privacy protection (we already subscribe to McAffee's virus protection), and I got a security update from Microsoft and installed a pup-up blocker, all because of reading this thread. I'm very impressed so far.

I also installed the Proxomitron stuff, but I can't tell if it's working or not.
