| Thanks for the advice.  I tried to download the Java software 3 times at two different times without 
success.  After hitting the "Download - Get It Now" button, the computer starts going nowhere slowly and I 
finally get an unable to get that URL reject.  I signed up for their free CD subscription, but the next CD 
doesn't go out until June.  I'll wait 24 hours and try again.

| My connection is already firewalled and fully updated with Microsoft's critical and security updates, but if 
I have a virus problem, it may have gotten on my computer before I did all that.  I recently found a Blaster 
Worm on my computer that had been hibernating due to the updates I'd downloaded from Microsoft to protect me 
from it but it came alive when I had some trouble and reinstalled my Windows XP update which did away with all 
the updates.  I found Microsoft's instructions on how to get rid of it and did.  I also reinstalled the 
updates that went away upon my reinstallation of Windows XP.
|
| I stopped using antivirus software a while ago because it slowed my computer down so much.  I've tried 
Norton and McAfee and didn't like either one.  Any other suggestions?

| Did you go to the WWW.WorldNetDaily.com website and determine that their automated "Breaking News" 
animations are powered by Java software?
