Hi
Thanks for the warm welcoming message. I am basically computer illiterate and run into problems I sometimes can't solve. My main computer use is related to a hobby. I grow chile peppers and communicate with other growers around the world. I document them with photographs and have a picture site so I can share them with others and on forums. A couple of days ago I got infected with pc security lab and after trying several things that didn't work I signed up here. I tried to follow your instructions but got stuck at step 2 ( I won't) go into all of that) and finally took a drastic step and switched the C and D drives in my computer and installed Xp on the other drive which was empty ( I had tried a repair/install and that didn't work)--so now I am setting up a "new" computer. Suggestions for programs to avoid virus and spy ware in future?

Re: Hi
 From Australia, "The Land Down Under", John...Welcome to TSF!  My suggestion for starters to cure the majority of your issues would be to install SP2 on your machine. Enjoy your stay with us. Regards,
