Hi, Dale,
I'm sorry I can't help you, but I'm sure anyone who can will jump in.
You might also consult the Virus and Security forum.
You mentioned you understandably don't want to mess up your PC. So, I can contribute a caveat....
Last week I installed the new version of a suite I had used without any problems. I took good care of pre-installing measures - even closing all programs running in the background. But Live Update would not connect.
Finally I had to call the fee-based tech support, who took me through a clean install (removing all vestiges of earlier programs.) All is working fine now except there are some minor problems. Don't laugh, but I play solitaire a lot. But now it will allow only one game, not responding after that. There are also a couple other errors in dll.exe that cause some conflicts. Still, the firewall, AV, ad and popup blocking work fine.
Good luck!

I want to add to my safety site, with setup steps for the main free protection programs. Since I no longer use these, and don't want to wreck my finely tuned computer with temp installs just to see them, I'd be grateful if people could provide the installation/best settings for these, nad any caveats/bugs they may have.
Sygate Personal firewall
ZoneAlarm Free firewall
Avast! Free AV
AVG Free AV
MailWasher Free edition
I know there are others, but these are hte ones I recommend for visitors, as they are long-time proven and reliable. I can handle the Spybot and AdAware procedures myself. Thanks in advance for the assist. ![]()
