OK - Went to the Ad-Aware site. Made some sense to me but I am illiterate when it comes to these things. Are the spyware thingys (highly technical term for me) in some way dangerous? Can they take my checking account and go get my bank money? What does this spyware do? I am seriously interested - I just don't have a lot of positive experiences with downloading a program and having it be effective. Took me a year or better just to get the cookie reset on my home puter for Mudcat. So please tell me more - Steve
