I turned Windows firewall back on when I uninstalled Norton.

I was told I was less likely to get stuff using dial up as it is too slow to interest hackers so I think I will run another scan and stay off neighbors wireless and see what happens. Don't know if it will work, I used to get a lot of 'blocked intrusion' alerts from Norton and wondering if thats what it was.

I will try Komodo after I am moved and settled unless I keep having problems every day. My computer is faster since I got rid of Norton but don't know if that is the reason or if I have had the Trojan Horse for awhile and didnt know it.

Thanks for the heads up ginnie, I think I heard of that but assumed I was safe with Norton. I'd like to see the information if you can get it on, I tried to google 'silver alert' and all that came up was info about wandering Alzheimers patients.

Thanks,
judi
