I've been looking at the boards and realized that there's a lot of programs around to help you learn stuff from home about html, ways to help you clean up viruses and such. Any of you computer people could help me with this? I would really like to learn...

Two anti-virus programs come to mind...Avira and AVG. As far as HTML. I write my HTML (XHTML) in Notepad; (comes with Windows), and I learned from online tutorials. W3C Schools has some great tutorials to start with; likely all you'd ever need; (all I've needed for my work). :) HTH

I use AVG and enjoy it. It's very accessible and works wonderfully. But it does tend to slow down the computer, so you may need to schedule it to run when you're not using your machine. W3C Schools is a website that was recommended to me when I expressed an interest in programming. It didn't have anything that could help me with QuickBASIC, and probably won't with batch files, but I'm pretty sure they have something for html.

Hi there. I was looking for a Wordperfect 5.1 manual and found several and a few other neat things at this site.

Then, I noticed that they had several pages that might interest you. Some are for learning html and some are about how to create accessible websites. I'm not sure how up-to-date this information is, so if it's not of use today, programmers feel free to chime in. But I'm sure it could still give you a good general idea of how things are done.

Use the tutorials from http://www.w3schools.com as they teach the basics and they do so in fragments.

For free antivirus, avast works, as long as you stay with version 4.8.
