Bruce,

Yeah that's true, it normally doesn't kill the whole machine.

>But, I think I just found something very important. I did a new IE5 install here at work, and now it shows 128-bit encryption. My home version has the same IE version and all the updates, but shows only 56-bit. I think something got fouled up with that install - I'll just try reinstalling the encryption update, that might solve it.

I just have 56 bit here not 128 bit, and I'm not sure which I have on the notebook at home. I don't have reason to believe the CIA is monitoring my transmissions *L*
