Thank you ukbobby01.

My computer:
Firewall: Zonealarm
Virus protection: Vet Antivrus ( Computer Associates) [already nabbed a virus in a
Limewire download]
Spyware detector: Spybot

Do you think I also need the IP blocker


I use Firefox when browsing - downloading ( and IE when testing web pages in production)

Always willing to learn more...
I’m no admin technocrat but have been constant net user since ‘96 - built websites for major corporations.

BTW "clever cookie" meant clever joker, person, fellow, not related to computer cookies.

Cheers,
