Spybot Search & Destroy and AdAware are designed to be run at various times to check the whole computer. Anti virus programs are designed to run full time but these 2 do not do that. They sit idle (using no resources) awaiting your command to scan the computer. I look for updates to them about once a week but only scan every 4 to 6 weeks maybe if I know I have not been to doubtful sites. If I have been surfing for freebies then I will run those programs at the end of that search to remove all the stuff possibly piggybacked in when visiting those sites.

Yes I have the users manual, gestures are covered on pages 20 and 21, very basic touch maneuvers covered, no mention whatsoever for right click gesture. I found that from the retailer I purchased the unit from, but he isn't giving free tutorials and I sure have outworn my welcome.

I had never heard of .art but then I have never had anything to do with AOL either, learn something new every day! From that article this seems to be the key cure. It can be turned off!! To turn it off, launch AOL. This can be done on-line or off-line. Click on My AOL, then choose Preferences, then choose WWW. There you will find three choices for graphics; No graphics, Compressed graphics, Uncompressed graphics. Choose the Uncompressed graphics. Now the whole problem of the .art files will be gone. If you download a GIF or a JPG image, it will be on your hard drive as the GIF or JPG image, and be readable and usable in the normal fashion. I am hooked on using imageshack, they have some great extensions and add ons which make saving pictures to my imageshack account so easy. I love the imageshack extension for firefox, it allows you to just right click on any picture and from the list there is now an option to save to imageshack, voila it goes right to my imageshack account. they also have a great tool you can add to windows, any picture on your pc you can right click on and there will be a menu item upload to Imageshack, voila the picture is sent from my pc directly to my imageshack account. It has been a great help to novice pc users since it makes it so easy to deal with pictures. http://reg.imageshack.us/content.php?page=features the FAQ has a lot of info another great site I love is www.zamzar.com you can use it to change just about any type file to some other file type.

I usually use the no right click script if I am gonna be uploading or posting pictures.., just a habit that I had gotten into.. It has worked on most sites that I have made, and I do use IE... I had the script inside the proper tags, just not sure why it wouldn't work on the trade page.., but I haven't been able to figure out how to get around the bullets list that is built into the script there either, so it isn't any big deal.., also, for what it is worth, the no right click script has nothing to do with saving a page to favorites or stopping/hindering someone from looking at a cached page.. it was created to stop the ability of right clicking on pictures and copying them to your system.. there is also a script that will stop the view source which is used quite frequently as well by "nefarious" ? others if they really want to look at your information.. that really doens't bother me .. really.. all it does is stop people from seeing where you have your files stored. Anyway.. Thanks for the information! And have a great day all! Katbird
