Hi Brian,

Thanks for the info.

... yes, I know how to "clear" the firewall-hurdle :-)

F-Secure SAFE (anti-virus):

I got "F-Secure SAFE" from my provider; it is only anti-virus; that
is: no firewall ...

Some time ago it automatically upgraded itself ... and kept working.

After UNinstalling it (as I wrote in my previous post) I decided to
REinstall it (downloaded the executable from my provider).

After startup the executable tells me:

     "your system (XP!) is no longer supported!"

Case closed ;-)

(I still have to verify W7 and openssh in combo with F-Secure)
