I'd already read on that forum what a router does in regards to
spyware, so my wife is sending me the spare router from home (I'm
out of state on an extended job). When I'm home, we have 3 computers
hooked to our router, when I'm gone there's still 2.
So I'll just use the spare to accomplish that.
I never have used Outlook or even IE for that very reason.
My wife and I have used a common Excite home page & email
on Netscape for years for both our computers, really hate to switch everything out now. But I will take a look at Thunderbird.
And I NEVER open emails where I'm not absolutely sure of the source.
When it's obviously questionable, I report them as spam to Excite, hoping to cut them off at the knees so to speak.
Thanks so much!
All suggestions/info considered & much appreciated!
