Bunny Girl,
No. Won't touch Spyware or Adware. I've got Personal Firewall with pop-up blocker activated plus a firewall on the router. I'm happy that I'm sufficiently protected atm, but I'm worried about being more susceptible with the p2p thingie of kazaa. Having said that, I do wonder if kazaa will actually work properly on the network.

Well I don't know cos I'm firewalled as well and it got thru as part of
the actual music download itself - don't ask I don't understand either
just be careful...

Hilary,
It ws some while since I had Kazaa on my PC when I had a problem and lost a lot of data, I think the music on my system as well. Anyway I decided to unload Kazaa and that was when the problems started. Something related to Kazaa was left in the registry and it persistantly caused a lot of error messages. It took me a lomg time to sort it because I didn't know what the problem was, until I came across some articles on an error fixing site where other people were having the same error messages popping up. From here I learned how to enter the registry and removed the offending line. Please note by searching for Kazaa and removing all found links did not remove the registry entry. Perhaps these glitches have now been removed and all is well but it is something to consider (I would not personally reload Kazaa)
Now did I hear somsone mention Guiness, I think I've earned one.....Please.

It was Bunny thanks I've been busy cutting grass. Come in to find I've got a good blue stock....KEL. This has happened before and at the end of the day it's gone back to the other colour. Ready for that Guiness, are you going to join me with a Cab Sauv? Or are you going to be a good little Bunny:-)

Well I've given up doing actual work today now, all put away until
tomorrow morning when I'll hit the keyboard again with renewed purpose
(in theory..) so yes a glass of Cab Sauv' would be nice.
I've got 1 or 2 blue stocks - VOD as you know and dixons keep turning
blue or green at intervals - not an investors day...

OK Bunny Cab Sauv it is then, but just the one for me I have still some more work to do today I'm sure if I didn't have a PC it would be nearly all done now, but then I would have to find something else to do :-)

Sorry Opto - minor wild goose chase for you...daft epic anyway
WD would be far more sensible!! But it's lost the bit it had now,
so not much point looking - VOD down to a penny gain, it's all
going pear shaped....

Hello all.
Hilary
You need to have something like Ad-aware 6 to get rid of the data miners and some other dross. It's free to download the personal version and you will be surprised what it will find. It was recommended to me and it is also in use at work where it was installed by our IT pro's. Windows XP update also has a pop-up blocker which works well for me.
