Junk mail is annoying.
Spy-Ware is terrible

www.lavasoftusa.com/support/download/Ad-Aware

www.safer-networking.org/en/download/Spybot

And windowsXP SP2 of course (careful with IDE controller)

But roamers have it that in the beginning of November illegal XP copies will stop the computer (can not start anymore). It is said that SP2 has a file that will check if you got a official license. :roll:

For email I use spambayes,


http://spambayes.sourceforge.net/


You still get the mail, you jsut need to train it a bit , then it goes in automatically!!

ps, you couldnt install SP1 on hacked copies of XP anyway, but not tried with SP2, would be interested to know if it works!

What they will do (if roamer is correct) is that the license keys will be checked. So if you have one license but it is installed on more then one PC all of them will not work anymore.

Well the solution is dont install SP2!!!

" it is true that all future downloads will require authentication pre download of valid license"

this is what I heard!!!

Thx Bloke!

The first time you use the complete URL it does not work. When you already have been there with your computer it get it right.
I started of with the long ones and then cut a way the last parts of the URL. Guess that is what you did.
It works good.
