I have been reading some of these posts and can't resist to get in. I was on dial up for 5 years and got sick of it being so darn slow. I was to far out in the country for DSL, so checked into wireless through a tower which is located 5 miles away. They came out and ran a test and it worked perfect. So I went that route but the cost is $35 per month. I then downloaded the latest Firefox browser as the hackers supposedly don't bother with the smaller browsers like Firefox or Netscape as much as with MS Internet Explorer. I then switched to Thunderbird which is a part of Firefox for my email account. The new Netscape is a great browser and runs Firefox as it's background browser. Just do a search on Google to find them, and the best part is that they are free. I am using McAfee virus scan and firewall. Also Ad-Aware, and Spyblaster which are all free spyware products. Spyblaster stops spies before they get into your PC and Ad-Aware is supposed to get after they get in, but you do have to keep them updated and run them everyweek to get the protection. I also bought Registry Mechanic to keep my PC straightened out and up to speed. I do go to the Trend Micro site and run their free PC "house call" virus scan every other time with McAfee. I know it is alot of monkey business, but I had a virus once 5 yrs ago, and I told myself not again if I can help it. If anyone wants a list of the free stuff for you PC get in touch and I will email you a list of things to try and help you out, be patient, as I have beans to plant yet.
Oh, by the way, have been on wireless for over a year and not one hitch what so ever, it is always on, no dialing up and waiting and waiting. I was with MSN for my dial up and boy was there always trouble, but MSN is nothing but part of Microsoft so go figure.
