Virus Alert-MAYBE

But if you only have a slow modem connection, an automatic search for new updates could bog down your computer at a time you really need it for some other purpose on line. For this reason, I would set a recurring Outlook appointment for yourself to manually check when you know you can afford the time. Make it at the very least once a week.

Downloading a 3 to 6 megabyte file can really drag your connection down when you need to find some information on the Net fast.

Of course, if you have a high speed connection, ISDN, DSL or a direct network connection, then Live Update is the way to go...

regards,

John
