Sgt. George, I did numbers 1,3, and 4 but am not sure how to do number 2. I use Netscape as my default browser. I went to Netscape and clicked on the lock and brought up the infomation but just wasn't sure what to do from there. Can you explain? Also in the Eudora Email Security Advisory, it suggests changing the settings to warn for other files. This sounds a little complicated. Do you think it is necessary if I have done all the other things? Thank you for your help.
