Looks good :bigthumb: You will want to review this information:

The CD used to be free but I believe they charge for it now. You must update to SP#2, you cannot download the critical updates until you do:

You can download online at Windows updates: Internet Explorer > Tools > Windows Updates. If you have any problems downloading SP#2 you can get help here: http://support.microsoft.com/

AVG Anti-Spyware is a good program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:

Thank you so much! This means a great deal to me, especially since its mothers day. I would have gotten nowhere without your help. Thank you!
