Thanks, you reminded me of some security websites
http://www.urlvoid.com/scan/mindprod.com/
http://www.unmaskparasites.com/security-report/
which seemed to come up clean

I installed a program a few weeks ago I think - Audacity?. I think the author said he'd have to pay a fee for a security certicate. Is this so in your case?

Anyway I click "I accept the risk and want to run this application" and I see no harm done.

On a side note, the java Available program says "ping not reachable" for all the URLs i type in like amazon.com google.com wambooli.com mindprod.com DOS ping working for them. So that's my Windows XP firewall then, I suppose. Don't why the difference.
