Harri,

I do not necessarily understand your question, but will
respond with some simple advice.

Windows is not fully secure. (.) It just plain isn't. In
fact I'll go out on a comedic limb and say that MS
products have so many bugs and security flaws that Bill is
obviously in cahoots with the FBI and the CIA
(Organizations which have their own sinister ties).

Do I understand that you are using Windows ME? Why, Oh Why
do you use this piece of. operating system beyond use for
testing purposes for some customer that uses it? Frankly,
I'm not super familiar with the WINME operating system,
other than testing that I have performed, and I'm not
impressed (nor have I been able to locate a colleague in
the computer profession that is) - Whatever.

Joe Schmoe esq.
