Steve, you would be better off making a posting about what your particular boot
up/security problems are, then someone who is familiar with the problem may be
able to assist you. It's not recommended inviting just anyone to link up to your
computer as you really don't know who is linking up - these NGs are read by
many. I have already been attacked 6 times since being on line.
Make a posting, explain your situation and get some advice/suggestions. I doubt
I could assist you in that particular area anyway but possibly others who read
the NG could.. Perhaps make a posting under Security and Administration.
Hope you find what you're looking for.
