FOR SHAREWARE/FREEWARE

Hello All,

I have started a simple self help Web Site at: 

To view my webpage click here

Take a look at the "News" tab to keep abreast of the changes in recommended updates.
Review my recommended "Ten Steps to Maintain Your Computer" on the "Maintenance" tab to keep your computer free of Viruses, Trojans and Spyware.

If you install "Spybot Search & Destroy or have updated it without upchucking the Tea Timer option, you have installed a firewall that I do not recommend you use. Look for a little lock in the lower right corner of your monitor.  To uninstall it, remove Spybot S & D, reboot and reinstall. Make sure you uncheck the tea timer during the install process.
