sorry I hit Submit Reply without finishing....

Ken,

Thanks for all tips on free programs, I will install them.

This machine is only an AMD Athlon XP 1700+, with 1 GB RAM.

Do you think with all these security softwares installed it will run OK?

I got infected because a friend need a file, and told me to use a file share. I Googled, and as it was up loading, problems started - unfortunately all hell broke loose as I was in the middle of a lot of work, and do not remember which site it was.

It was a 220 mb file, so I paid to YouSendIt.

I normaly don't surf the net, so I guess I am not too exposed - but all it takes is one problem, that sets us back days.....and hours of work.

So we learn a little more each day...thanks for your lessons.

Hello Ronaldo

I got infected because a friend need a file, and told me to use a file share

This is not a recommend thing to do....think about it, do you want to give access to your computer to someone halfway around the world.. NOT ME

You can install the programs I listed with no problems, just remember that you only need one Anti Virus program and only one Firewall, with the programs that I suggested you really do not need anymore.

You have a nice website, now I will know where to go if I ever get to Brazil. :bigthumb:

It was a pleasure to help you, you followed the directions quite well:bigthumb::bigthumb:

Later,
Ken
