You can run programmes 1, 6, 7 and 8 from here

You can get a free firewall here

The same people have an anti virus programme which is in beta, so you may prefer to use one of these

thanks keith!!!!-i've been so overwhelmed with the varoius software outhere..i'm going to do 1 & 6 since i already have a firewall but now the problem is when i try to download software, it says files are corrupted
i'm in the process of trying to fix it thru this forum....geek staff computerwiz says my computer is really messed up....
so now i'm thinking "how many geeks does it take to fix a comuter?" haha
