Hi WB,
I went to the site you showed and read it. They're scary people, always dithering instead of doing! I delete all cookies every night so that no one can trace where I've been, also delete the temporary file folder. I'm not sure I should do that, but it makes me feel better. Do have one question for you though, if you can answer it. When I go to the place to do the deletions, part of the questions on deleting files, there is a box to be checked that says "delete all offline content". Being new I've not checked this, so far, and I'd like an explanation of what it means before doing it. Do you know what the contents are in there, and if it is safe to delete that too? I'll get rid of it quick as a bunny if it is safe, but I shall await an answer from someone much wiser at this business than I am! Thank you for the information. Bonnie in Hot, Muggy FL

IE security risk. Also people kept laughing at me for not allowing
cookies to remain on my cpu, saying they are harmless litle things that
can't do anything to harm your cpu. Well read this and see what it has
to say about cookies.
