Ponce, I am not telling you what to do, but I would run some antivirus with dial up. All it takes is an instant to get hit with a trojan horse that will allow your computer to download things you don't know about. Even with dial up you can be at risk. Even web sites that are known to be safe get hit by hackers once in a while.

I would hate for something to happen to your computer or privacy for no reason. There are free antivirus programs you can download.

I used to use AVG, then I switched to Avira. Now I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials. All of them are free. AVG started missing things that Avira would catch. Microsoft Security Essentials caught some stuff that Avira missed. With the way viruses are written and created, there's no single scattershot method that will work 100% of the time. But the Microsoft program seems to be doing the best for me.
