You are so right ! As soon as i downloaded limewire i went strait on the forum to understand a little more before dowloading anything.Everyone was so helpful.
I check bitzi before downloading anything then scan with AVG free before opening and so far i have had no problems(fingers crossed)for the spy nasties i use Ad-Aware which is also free :-) and works great.
While im here i would like to thank all those that have helped me get started. Keep up the great work!!!

Since this thread is about morons,I wanted to mention that I got this computer from a (rich) woman who never once used a firewall (other than windows version,un "up-dated") or any other safeguards. When It got too slow to use anymore she ordered a new one from Dell and threw this one out,monitor,speakers,UPS,keyboard--the works
Pent.4,XP (re-installed now!) etc. I did run AVG on it when I 1st got it and it had every worm,virus,trojan etc.that could find room in there to lurk.
In short,I'd like to confirm that not all computer users are MENSA elite, or working on new propulsion systems for NASA.- cougar
