Ira, Cloning what I have now wouldn't necessarily help because I don't know if what I have now is malware free. I have spoken to my financial institutions and all passwords have been changed. Reading your post again, how do I know I have a "good setup"? BTW, is there any software available that will detect dormant malware? I'm not too optimistic about that. jaybass
