Just to keep you all updated... thanks to Peg and an email from a new AOL-J pal, I downloaded Ad-Aware. Ran it and it found about 30 things it had concerns about. Half of them were cookies, but there were at least 3 things there that were definitely naughty and have now been quarantined and removed. (Heck with it -- I removed the cookies, too. I removed stuff that was probably harmless. What the hell. Out with it all!) So my thanks for the info. It's a mean, scary world out there, and I've gotta keep my boy safe.
In other Jack news, our wireless router arrived today and installed perfectly with no trouble at all. I gotta tell you, Jack is the first computer I've had where I've experienced TRUE plug-and-play. Plug in router -- it finds the internet. Turn on notebook -- it finds the router. (And this router replaces a two-piece system -- which in turn replaced another two-piece system -- both of which took FOREVER to set up and HOURS to get working correctly.) Of course, I had to name the network too. (Ten points to anyone who guesses what I named it. I imagine that anyone who knows me -- that is, anyone who knows me via the journal -- would have a reasonable shot at getting it.)
I'm just a spy-ware killin', computer-namin', network-installin' machine today.
Now... read the entry below and tell me what color carpet to buy. This is serious business.
