Thanks for the info Wizer.........from a Mac girl currently using a PC.
I am not used to having to know and use this stuff......it's been very helpful finding this info.
Now, I wonder what else I need to run on this thing?
The basics
- a good anti virus program, I recommend AVG- available from Grisoft (free)
- a good firewall, there is one built into most Windows operation systems
- one or two spyware detectors such as spybot and maybe a few others that you download and run once a month or so
- make sure your Windows operating system has all the latest updates
There are several more detailed threads in this section that will tell you what you need to know and provide the links
