Hello tracer & all fellow TBUDL members,

Simon had mentioned "a certain 'security' app" so I asked whether he
meant an AV or AtGuard. (I don't use PGP). It DOES sound like I'm
confusing the two but the anti-virus (as tracer points out) is not
AtGuard, which I run (the version tracer mentions but I don't remember
where I got it - the url was posted on the Opera list) only when going
to websites with uncertain content. Perhaps I should run it or Zone
Alarm constantly.

That's funny, because I don't. I get them in C:\ (there's none
there now, so I can't be precise about the subdirectory). There's not
that many, but they add up over time.

Good to know.
