just make sure I' not in your contacts so when you're PC gets trojaned/infected.etc, you don't send it my way smile.gif
mineyr
it wont get infected.....well maybe it will but meh tongue.gif
DeLr
good virus scanner and firewall saves infections.. and IE is a huge weakness in windows...
mineyr
i have a good virus scanner and ad-aware scanner etc.

so i rekon i'm right wink.gif
DeLr
since using AVAST i aint had issues.. everythings blocked or located before infection.

might build up the 550 for a hardware styled firewall.. all depends on wat comes with the adsl2 connection.. router style..

mineyr
.....i once found 43 infected files. wen i hadn't scanned in about a month. was shocked!!!!!
DeLr
