Download available free for home use here: http://www.download.com/3000-8022-10122137.html Lobster had suggested Sygate personal firewall a while ago. I installed it on the Packard Bell computer late last week. What an easy firewall program to use! I found it easier to install and configure than both McAfee firewall and ZoneAlarm. Thanks for the suggestion, Lob. Download Sygate Personal Firewall Standard available free for home use here: http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm Sam asked a while ago if Picasa that Lobster had recommended was a better photo editor than PhotoShop. IMO, Picasa is wonderful, and does an excellent job of indexing all the graphics files on your hard drive and has a lovely, pleasing interface for showing them. It is superior to PhotoShop in that regard, imo, but PhotoShop has much more advanced photo editing features. However, Picasa does allow for some editing - similar to the Kodak Easy Share software - and has the advantage of being free (compared to several hundred dollars for PhotoShop).

I want to again reassure people that my computers do not have any viruses and that those messages are apparently sent from a third party computer infected with a worm that spoofs the sender's information. Remember, don't open any emails with attachments UNLESS you have scanned for viruses first! And keep your antivirus software engine and definition files uptodate! ------------------------ Yahoo!
