I posted earlier about my computer dramas in jakarta
many are caused from naughty people doing stuff and sending thru Internet Explorer and Outlook Express.

also pop-ups when you access certain web sites (sic) are annoying

try mozillla thunderbird for emails and mozilla firefox for a browser.


they are crescent fresh

Thats obvious.
but no guarantee of protection, as i have experienced.
explorer is just too bulky to use on a dial-up service Willy. its frickin slow.
mozilla firefox is lean and mean - at least 5 times faster (on dial-up internet) than int explorer.
also Outlook is clumsy and slow.

thats my opinion
