Lol those magnets are strong. If you forget to take off a piece of metal like a belt buckle or something, it will literally start pulling you to the machine. 2funny

If you also need a software firewall try Comodo free firewall at
http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/
 I have been running it for a couple months now with no problems. Just turn it off when you are gaming cause it can stop you from connecting up with the server.

Had Norton up to the 2004 version and hated it. Got Trend Micro's PC-Cillin and it works well, but started having boot up issues. I'd fire the comp up and it would take FOREVER for the crap to load. Couldn't really do anything until it was loaded either. Then it got to where none of my desktop icons would appear and the toolbar was missing. all I'd have was wallpaper. Took me awhile to figure it out but after uninstalling it, the problems are gone.

I use AVG and limit my visits to the porn sites.  2funny  2funny  2funny

 I just wanted to chime in , and mention how it's intriguing how we determin a " virus " w/ a problem using our software.  What about the ones that don't screw up our software, or are not detected by any of the progs we use? How would we know that we had them, and what would we do about finding them?

ok i dumped it and got Windows live one care "BECAUSE" new pc 1 month old!

Here is my new score without norton, used to be " 111 Kbps" I have top out at 220 before i installed google web accelerator  tickedoff


  "Not the fastest broadband, but it's broadband... Your connection scored 1.5/5 stars." (test again)
166 Kbps or 0.2 Mbps (20 kB/s) smitten Clearwire isp is not highspeed OBV. NERD!

I used Norton, McAfee and AOL cd's to keep the rabbits away from my garden by drilling a small hole and hanging with a string. The programs seemed to work the best with this installation. 2funny
