Your welcome BanditFlyer and xico.

Just double check what you want to get even if it says free to make sure that is is not a demo that is free but time runs out.

I have used the site to get lots of filters, plug-ins.

Talking Very secure
SiteAdvisor was developed originally for Firefox. It was then purchased by McAfee. Now you can download the I.E. version. Very small tool that let's you know when you Google which sites are "SAFE". You get a Green check mark when they're safe. A Red X when they're not. I don't feel safe without it now www.siteadvisor.com ...
Also go to www.camchatting.com/cgi-bin/remret.cgi and bookmark so that you can copy and paste to reformat such things as E-mail that are broken up with>>>>>in them.
God Speed....

Thanks John, I'll check that out. I have FF installed, but only use it for sites I can't access via IE as my security settings are set too high

Smile Discovered today
While cleaning up my PC to give to my son ( I ordered a new one from Dell, Can't wait!) I had a file I couldn't get rid of. I Googled and found "Highjackthis"
I downloaded it and was very impressed. I did a scan found the file and deleted it. It was very easy to use and also backs up the file in case you screw up (which isn't easy to do if you're careful). Sorry I don't have the URL but I'm sure you can find it with Google easily.

Actually, HijackThis is well known here, but it's VERY EASY to shaft yourself with it if you don't know what you're doing.

Thanks JohnWill
Thanks for the heads up. I was looking for a nasty file that I couldn't get rid of and found it right away. It did the trick for me but won't likely have to use it again real soon. Anything specific I need to be aware of?
