I loaded the host files for the applicable web sites that Adaware references, and am runing off an older version of explorer. I have an old version of modzila, but it doen't alow me to check my e-mail or bank info because of the pop-up blockers. Perhaps I'm just stupid, and don't know how to use it properly. as for the firewall, I haven't set it up yet. I have the Geak Squad coming soon to install a wireless network and they are suposed to set up encription software and a firewall on all three of my comps.

Thanks,
