Thanks, Pete! Back to the aforementioned "parameter" files - assuming I have the most recent version of Spyboy and Adaware, when I click on...

Re: What was meant by updating is not the software versions, but the parameter files that are added for new malware. BTW, Ad-Aware's current...
Will do - thank you!
Thanks for the suggestion. I deliberately went with Kazaa Lite a couple of years ago (as opposed to regular ol' Kazaa) because I'd heard it came...
