Yes, I am for sure damned sure! Leave me the f*** alone!) I know. Oh, and then you run a hotfix and it turns them back on for you DESPITE your wishes that they be turned OFF. Thank the Big Kahuna for Zone Alarm, which stops it dead in its tracks . . .

Maybe it was before we "met". But see, I didn't even go to the MS updates site - this happened when IE decided to access MS on its own to see if there were any "install" updates.... and it's supposed to wait until you tell it "yes" before it does anything.... Yeah right. Ah…. well, you must be the only person in the world I did NOT scream it to loud and long…. oh. Maybe it was before we “met”.

I DID tell you, did I not, about the only time I've ever turned my back on a format/reinstall of ANY windows OS, to return to find out that not only had IE accessed the 'net without my permission, but that in supposedly simply going to the MS site to "check for updates" it grabbed a virus while it was there....
