One of the problems is that too many of us, don't have firewalls, you need to have a good firewall, good antivirus and good anti spam programs that run all the time. Also, when you send email to friends and family use bcc, it hides their emails and they will not be hacked. If you don't have a firewall, get one, there are a number of good ones, and surprise but the new windows firewall is quite good. Check out Download.com from Cnet you will see a number of free programs. The same thing with antivirus, personally I love AVG, they have a free version and it works fine. Please understand that you have to protect yourself and your computer all the time. BTW there are a number of really excellent programs that will protect your passwords, from RoboForm which is somewhat expensive but worth the money. There are also some really excellent free programs, again check Download.com, they review the programs for you so you will know what you are getting. Happy Veterans Day to all who have served from one Army SSG to all. -- John Quigley Chair, USGenWeb Grievance Committee CC Kinney County TX -- John Quigley Chair, USGenWeb Grievance Committee CC Kinney County TX
