Thank You for responding. The reason I am wondering about this is, I just had an infected computer and even though everything seems to be back to normal. I am still not comfortable using the computer. I have a Dell Dimension DIM 2400 with Windows XP Home Edition. So I will follow them links.

Thanks for your responses.

John
