I should add that I often go to download.com for things like winrar, putty, etc., but I know enough to NOT use the Adobe Downloader from adobe.com, check to make sure there's no extra stuff riding along… We have a problem here in Minnesota with Zebra mussels. Tanker ships from Europe didn't filter their ballast water and now we have them in our lakes. They rode tankers from Europe to the Great Lakes, fishing boats from the Great Lakes to smaller lakes… and now it's an infestation. Why? Because they were too busy to take time to figure out what they were doing.
