Turn off your firewalls and antiviruses and you won't have to worry about anything soon since your system will probably be trashed :-) Sorry Igohigh but telling someone to turn off those functions is just not right. I've gotten notification of half a dozen Gibe.C.1 virus infected messages in just the last couple of hours. My ISP caught them but you can bet I have my antivirus and firewall running. If you're on dial-up you could shutdown the firewall when you're not online but make sure you restart it it before you initiate an internet connection. If you need more resources, it's ultimately cheaper to buy more memory a better OS or even a new processor than to lose everything, but it's your call.
