Dear Auntie Virus,
thank you very much for that warning & useful info. I had AdAware on my
old computer, and had not re-installed, but have now, and this new
version is much better. It at once found some nasties hidden away in the
Registry file!

I am also trying the pop-up stopper, but some legitimate sites such as
the Ellis Island site use pop-ups, though of course they are useful, and
appear only when one chooses (i.e. to enlarge the view). The anti-popup
software blocks them but allows one to countermand the block by pressing
the Control button; however that could become equally annoying, so I
shall have to see, as I spend an awful lot of time on the Ellis Island
site.

Thank you again It helps to keep abreast of these hazards!
Ernest
