I have 2 e-mail accounts that won't download. I have tried 9 times. 1 has 42 messages and the other has 21.
What's the deal with another brand of e-mail accounts??? I have 1 from mindspring and 1 from our .com. Is there a way to switch to another e-mail server besides Outlook Express and not cause me more grief from switching???

Same here. My G4 and ibook are just fine. Although my work PC was infected and had to install the updates and run the new v scan.

If MS would do a better job of programming and testing of there software before releasing it there would be alot fewer holes for hackers to manipulate.

Now Jason,
You need to keep in mind the MS is just giving the market what it wants. They used to have DOS and all sorts of people wanted to have a GUI, so they came out with Windows 3.0. 8) It was somewhat of an improvement but still had limitations. :( People have kept demanding features to be added to the OS such as built in networking 8), USB 8), XP has a built in photo viewer 8) and digital movie creator 8)built in. These used to all be add-ins.

The same thing has been going on with these so-called security holes. The hackers have wanted items they could play with to take control of other computers and MS, as any customer focused company should, has done their best to to satisfy ALL of these requests.

Shoot if MS still had a secure OS, the hackers would be complaining about it. :D :D :D :D

Just another point of view :

Uh-oh, I have just planted my tongue in my cheek so far it is almost coming out the side of my face. ;D
