Hello Rob,
	You can say that again. The worst culprit was a file called 
"downloader.*** something. My spyware program got excited almost as soon 
as I clicked on the link. There were three of them with different 
endings plus some other files I don't want. Took me over an hour to 
clean up my machine.
	I have paper versions of all the books in links but took a look to see 
what it was all about. A 3 or more hour download was out of the question 
so I didn't download any of the books. I have dial up. The bad stuff 
wasn't combined with the books. It was in the other links from the main 
pages.
