Gerald,

I am still unsure of allowing M$ to send "Updates" to the XP Media
Center Edition box I bought in July this year.

The more I read on this Echo the less I want to allow the first Update
that is offered to my box.

IIRC, it says it is something like a "Package" that makes downloaded
Updates smaller.

I certainly don't want the Malicious Software Removal Tool or MY
computer calling home to Micro$oft when ever M$ wants it to.

My DSL service is connected with Yahoo and it allowed me to Download a
Yahoo Protection Package that contains Antivirus, Spyware Removal and
the Zone Alarm Free Firewall, which I did of course as soon as I read
about it.

I know I am only using 1 Anti-Spyware tool instead of several but
everything seems to run OK and nothing has been found on the box...YET.

The Tagline is selected at random on SLMR, my Offline QWK Reader, please
don't take offence, BTW I may have Stolen the Tagline from one of your
earlier messages, You do have some very good ones at times.  ;-]
