Oh but if anyone here has MSN they be getting none stop everyday IMs and pop ups from Microsoft telling them" The version of MSN you are currently running has security issues. Please click (whatever link here) to get more info. You get there and all it is, is a gimmick to get you to upgrade.

Windows itself is a security issue.

Ironic how Hotmail blocks Microsoft mailings.

Voice: I recommend www.mail.com as I get no spam. Well, for a while I got a few, but I set up some filters, and they haven't been necessary for a long time.

There have also been 14 other "updates" that I downloaded. 9 more are still waiting for download.
Know that feeling well. I gave up on my lptop as I never use it online anymore. The only two we have at work that run a M$ OS are on 2k Pro. Pain in the arse to keep them updated, even on a broadband connection. Feel bad for someone on dialup...their computer must always be online trying to download the updates.
