    Lightbulb Amazing

    Dear All,
    I had just sent an email (like 2 min ago) concerning problems w/ MSN, I thought it was my anti-virus software, but after wading through sheets, I found out it wasn't. i suggested using another email address I had.
    This may be a quick fix!

    Exclamation Updates

    My computer totally crashed b/c of my ISp, not the ":code red.Before you get excited and download things that may not be needed, let Microsoft do a scan and they will tell you. I did not need the patch, although I needed 63 new updates! So, they are on it and pretty reliable in this instance.
    I do perform a quick scan daily, however.
