Thomas,
It is a very good thing you don't use Outlook. That could be disastrous for
all.
Good luck keeping Klez out of your PC. My friend who deals with a lot of virus
problems says there is now a good Klez removal tool that simplifies the process
considerably. The last PC with Klez I worked on took about 7 hours to get that
virus out of the PC and avoid formatting the drive.
I fired MSN immediately after being transferred to them by Qwest when I had DSL.
MSN REQUIRES that you use Outlook. Not a chance. Microsoft and security in the
same sentence is an oxymoron. I left Qwest DSL for AT&T Broadband, and soon I
will fire Qwest for my phone service and use AT&T Broadband for that as well.
By
making that change I will actually save money on two lines. I am only waiting
for
the installation of a business phone system in my home, which my working on the
Datsun roadster is interfering with : ' )
I really did not like Qwest transferring me to MSN without asking my opinion.
