I downloaded all the windows security updates, and all the other updates for that matter.

I keep getting these stupid little pop ups that say yadda yadda security alert. Go to some site like e-regfix.com or www.updatepatch.info.

I don't think I trust these, especially when it wanted me to pay like $20 for the patch.

COOL it worked!  I've always thoght Win2k's classic look is kinda boring, but hey, it works!

Be sure to get Firefox (www.mozilla.org) for it, and Trillian is useful for a chat program (and basic is free)

Google tool bar is a good idea too.

oh, and start whining about how Macs are over priced, and how your panties are too tight that way you can sound like a real PC user.

I already downloaded Mozilla. I like it better than Firefox.

Try using the right mouse button. Once you get used to context sensitive right clicks you will find it hard to go back to the Mac's Option click single mouse button.

I'm using a two button mouse with my powerbook right now.

I downloaded the Google Toolbar, but these pop ups are still coming. I even get them if I'm not online.

How do I take a screencap? I'll do one next time it pops up.

alt-printscreen will capture the active window to the clipboard. You will then need to launch paint and paste.

Did you activate the popup blocker?  That's a separate step than just downloading the toolbar.
