  just how bad spam has gotten. One of my neighbors asked if I could come and see what was up with her computer. She just got it back from the shop where she had them remove 10,000 pieces of spam (thats what she called it), when I got there yesterday afternoon there were 8244 more e-mails. The shop also install Norton Anti-Virus for her, but not a firewall. So I got her a free for home use Zone Alarm installed and running. She has had her computer since 2000, without these, I'm amazed she only had alot of SPAM. I go through my husbands computer, on a network to connect to the internet & I still have a firewall and anti-virus running, even though he has them too. I spend alot of time keeping my computer hidden from everyone else on the internet. It's like my personel stuff, I've only had 1 virus on my computer in 4 years. I've had my home page highjacked 3 times, and I don't like it. I like knowing what is or is not running on my computer.
