Hi Jo,
Some years ago when AOL bought Netscape and put all kinds of spy
ware on it, it was agonizingly slow, so I went back to 4.78 which I'm
using here. I also have 7.01 installed if there's some flash or some
other Windows stuff I want to view, but that's all as a C:\>netstat -a
will bring up ten's of ISPs monitoring my machine. And of course I have
what you use, which I try to stay away from, because even with the
currant updates from: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ I may send
an old renamed Melissa:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/ven...sa.u.gen1.html and
destroy your machine without you even opening that mail, bypassing
Norton.
