Ignore files less than 1 MB (1000 KB). Be wary of downlding programs. Always use your anti-virus program to check "all" new downlds before attempting to open them. Here's some clues to spot them & also some other utilities worth getting: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link)
