Yep, right on Liberal. I had to insert my discs to reformat my hard drive to even use my computer and didn't activate my XP firewall before beginning my Mocrosoft service pack download. During download...probably after 10 minutes I got infected again during the download. It said I was shutting 60 seconds and began the countdown.
I'm a believer now. Sometimes I wonder if the anti-virus software people create these for business purposes. I will stay updated from Microsoft from now on and keep my built in firewall in XP activated from now on.

I know what you mean Uncle Ben.  Just went out and got one of those Compaq comp's from Wally World and had problems with it.  Thinking it was a problem with XP itself, I did a little tinkering.......notta.  So I decided to call Compaq and they wanted to charge me 40 bucks.  I told them no way and they decided to help me for free.  So yea.....it's gettin` kind of scary on viruses and worms and who they can infect your system without you opening anything up.

repdan-the whole spoofing thing....if people only knew what I know......the world would be a safer place.
