Thank you. My fast Internet provider is Comcast ( http://www.comcast.net/chsi.html ). My internet connection is through the TV cable. Most of the times I run as user "mauede" ...very raraely I need to turn to "root" .. I do that if I need to install/uninstall something. My browser is Netscape 7.2 which occasionally marks as SPAM messages that I get ... but I haven't found out yet which criteria it uses to do so. In fact it calls spam what actually is importatnt to me. My Internet provider does have anti-virus and anyi-spam products that can be downloaded for free but they are specific for Windows.
Sorry for my ignorance ... what is a "a rootkit hunter" ????? Regards, Maura
