LOL ... I just had to laugh cuz the way you wrote it. Thanks for the link, great one. I do have few questions. How do I set the CPU priority? And for spams I use a software called "AdAware", does a pertty good job I think. But, I never hard of Micronots. How do I 'kill' them? MemMonster? One more Question. :-) I've been searching for a website/webpage that explains/teaches about Ports .. in english, not in gibrish! Do you have such link in your pocket? Activating the firewall and closing the open ports are not the same, right? And will it hurt the home network in anyhow?
