Al ... Some cable providers offer virus protection free of charge. I know Comcast does.

GenghAl....I abhor anti-virus programs like McAfee and Norton. I think you will find out quickly that using those will slow things down tremendously. They scan everything...every email, every file you download (pictures, songs...etc). And that takes time and resources. I would google around and see what people have to say about that. User reviews and reviews from PC Magazine, et al, will tell you more than I can. I use Ubuntu Linux for my OS and almost no one writes viruses, malware/spyware, or any of that BS for linux.

Thanks, Mark.....but that stuff is way over my head. Norton has the best reviews and it's cheap enough and easy enough.Not a big deal but it's a businessexpense.Heard from my kid , he didn't get into an explanation like you did...he just said " For you, either one"...I'll have to remember that answer when he asks me stuff about his house....hahahha

Sorry, Al. Your son's answer is about the same as mine. Good research to see what user experiences are the key, and not getting something that is more than you need. Norton used to be really good without being intrusive. But as viruses and other harmful code evolved so did the apps that protect you from it.

Afternoon Woodrows. No work today. My dumbass hop-head nephew had to go to the ER this morning about 3am with pain in his chest. Turns out he has pneumonia. They gave him some meds and sent him home. Little bother was there with him until 6am.


On another note, I just bought another AR. Somebody stop me!


John, I have Rock Outs going into my engine along with the current upgrades!
