Message: [QUOTE="Jupiter Jones [MVP], post: 492221"] Sue; Seconds is way to long to be connected to the internet with an unprotected computer. Before connecting you should have had the anti virus application properly installed as well as a firewall: Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY, before connecting to the internet: [URL]http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283673[/URL] You should not connect the network cable until the above is completed. The belief that you must do something such as open an attachment to get a virus or worm is a few years out of date. Simply being connected to the internet (browsing not necessary, browser does not need to be open) is more than enough.
