After some three days of clouds and rain we finally have wonderful sunshine.

My advice for some good....and free... software are the following:
AVG antivirus software,
Zone Alarm firewall,
Spybot search and destroy and finally
ad-aware.
All of these programs are great and best of all free. Now I realize that spybot and ad-aware are programs that do similar things...BUT I have found that one will find something the other didnt. While (esp. in government) redundancy is not always a good thing...in this case it's good. Besides with spybot you can immunize your computer from bad sites. All four have regular updates too.
