According to all the settings I checked it's only an AV and
an Internet worm
checker. No spam thing. None of the firewall and other stuff
is activated..
I even tried turning off this worm thing and downloading
ZA..no soap. I can
download other things FINE. I just did a 26,000 something
program for music,
without a hitch..and installed. I just don't know. Wondering
if I tried
another AV program--a freebee?? or another firewall? I know
I had something
called sygate---I didn't like it but maybe I should try to
download
something else along that line and see...
