- Spybot Search and Destroy gets rid of spyware that hides in your computer. It even rids Windows of some of Microsofts hidden spyware such as Windows Media Player: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

- Ad-Aware updates very regularily and even rids your operating system of spyware that Spybot may miss: http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-...bj=dl&tag=top5

- Spyware Blaster actually disables much of your Active X controls and installs definitions in your computer that actually block a lot of spyware from ever even invading your computer: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

- AVG Anti Virus is simply the best, free, Virus control software available today. Many of my gamer friends rely on it exclusively and with good reason, it's really that good of a program: http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

- Trend Micro Free Online Scan. It will ask to invade your computer, scan it for drives and give you the option of which drives to scan. Very good sofware, actually recommended to me by a Technician at HP Technical Support: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Sounds like your "mail accounts" got corrupted. Go to Outlook>accounts>properties and make sure the settings are correct.

I like when you guys give us puter info which we don't have a CLUE what to do with!

[Stone]

You must be right because the problem followed me to work, and now that computer is all skrewed up... Thanks Guys...

Actually the way you learn about these things is by getting into trouble in the first place. If you simply dowload and install the software I linked to, you will be very secure.

Alkali does all my puter work If it wasn't for him...I'd be A$$ deep with more programs trying to access the internet at one time than you can imagine. I have no idea how I get so much crap on my computer....but I sure do.

[Duke]

If you surf any sites with pop ups or pop unders then thats where a great deal of you problems come from. Also having virus software that scans your incoming e-mail saves you a great deal of headaches.

I know. I have a firewall which I will disable at any given time....which 'my puter guy' gives me all kind of hell about.
