[Ham-Computers] Avoid one of the "Critical" Windows Updates...

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

I am running Ad-aware, Spy Sweeper, and Zone Alarm on my computer and am 
very happy with them. I can only speak for Win98SE because thats what I run. 
Never have cared for XP because I am an old DOS man and want that DOS 
kernal.
