Will add the details later today... one main issue is that with any security software, including spybot, when it trys to run an update, i get an error message telling me it was unable to connect to or access the web to do so.
I have an old edition of XP, running firefox... pretty fresh edition. I just learned this AM that even my new MS security essentials failed to update. I get this with everything including the AVAST I just deleted. There is one file I couldn't remove of avast. I tell ya'll this thing is just beggin' to get 6 lead aspirins of the 7/8th ounce variety delivered via my 20 gauge syringe!
