I would not buy a dialup modem online. Go to the nearest mom & pop store, Best Buy, CompUSA and etc. Some of the cheap modems ship with crappy drivers on a floppy or CD. Many times you will have to search the internet finding a driver that willl work, Some cheap brands don't have those drivers available at their sites. At least if you buy local you can return the modem if it doesn't work on your system.

I rarely use IE but still follow this routine even after using Opera all day. It is a good habit to get into. If I notice Panda alerting me during the day I also run a scan for virus/Tro
