Hi, I replaced the Java program.

Should I replace the adobe as well?  If so, would you give me the step by step instructions like you did for the Java program?

And, a step by step on how to use Avast to check thubdrives and cd's for viruses before opening them.

Thanks for your help.  My email has not had those bad Daemon things for several days.

Should I replace the adobe as well?

If it is outdated...
You can download the latest version from adobe site.
Uninstall the old version through Control Panel.
Boot.
Install the new downloaded version.

And, a step by step on how to use Avast to check thubdrives and cd's for viruses before opening them.

Let the avast Standard Shield settings on default ones (Normal level) and any file opened or executed from the drivers/cd will be scanned.
