I just purchased a new laptop that will replace my desktop.  Because it will
be carried to the customer sites I installed the free version of Zonealarm.
What a great value!

Don't forget to install spybot, and the google toolbar. You might also think
about one of the freebie firewalls, like Zonealarm or Sygate, I know I would

John,

>> A new hard disk, clean install of whatever OS you decide,
INSTALL A VIRUS SCANNER WITH UPDATED DEFINITIONS!!!! then place the infected
disk in as drive D, virus scan it from uninfected Drive C, then take it from
there. <<

Sensible advice. Thank you. I'm going to package up these comments and
e-mail them to this fellow.
