OK, thanks.  I guess I just got paranoid listening to the computer tech guy
on public radio.  He was focusing on the latest virus/worm warnings, and
mentioned the Spyware Search and Destroy program.  Since I do surf the 'net
quite a bit, I was worried about some of the things that may be "hiding" on
my computer without my knowledge.

He did say that Mac OS X was more susceptable (sp?) to "bad stuff" than Mac
OS 9x and earlier.  Anyone else agree?  I haven't gone to OS X yet.
