[G4] Virus and Spy Ware detectors

[Snow White]

Good Windoze Tech you got there - bad Mac Tech

Check the System Prefs > Network  to see that it is configuered to use

Check any pref within the individual programs for online > offline 
status and any connection via prefs

Cannot think of anything else at present  --  Anyone else?
