I agree !! I was waiting to hear of some other people having difficulty. It seems I was added to some pornograpic site by someone and since it is solicited from another place --I cannot get rid of the daily mailings. I too own a Gateway 2000 but I don't risk it on the internet--too much money in designer software to risk. We use a webtv for internet browsing and e-mail since the webtv cannot be affected by any virus. You can pick up a webtv for 25 to 50 dollars at flea markets or pawn shops. That is a lot cheaper than any computer crash I know of. Hope the weasel finds a trap !(posted 9011 days ago)
