    Thanks much for your help!! I'll get the firewall.
    I've seen some popup blocker software via ebay, e.g.,
    NetPopper (also protect privacy) or Mega Pop-up Blocker.
    Should I get one of those in addition to the firewall?
    My Windows tells me that my Windows Patch are affected.
    Thanks!!
