Tom . . . here are a few websites that may be useful:
Spybot Search and Destroy: Go to this website
http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html and download a copy of
Spybot Search and Destroy 1.4. Then run it. As Martha Steward says, "it's
a good thing".
AdAware: Ditto
http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-2007-Free/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?part=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5 .
These programs should get rid of MOST mal-ware and inprove the speed of
your machine.
Check out the article from the Chronicle about pulling HD tv
out of the air:

AntennaWeb: Go to this website
http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/Address.aspx , fill in your address and get a
list of the "theoretically" available stations and the direction you should
point your antenna for optimum reception. Rabbit Ears probably do just as
well without direction . . . but this makes a fun project. You'll need a
compass in your attic to aim properly.
Don't tell Ming Su, . . . . .BUT . . . . .a smaller group
definitely made for more interesting conversation.
