      Isn’t this a real hassle? Would like to throttle those hacker types

      who get joy out of making our lives miserable and corporations

      recovery costly.

      Anyway, rant aside, I also use avg free edition and have been very

      pleased with it. but you can’t just stop there nowadays. i’d suggest

      that you read krc internet security at

      https://www.greyknight17.com/internet_security.php for some “rules of

      the road” regarding keeping your computer secure. Kevin also has links

      to the best download sites for the free antivirus, firewall,

      antispyware, etc., programs.

      Following his recommendations, weekly I also run free editions of

      AdAware se personal edition (can download from cnet’s

      https://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10045910.html?p

      art=dl-ad-aware&subj=dl&tag=top5)

      and Spybot (https://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html) to check

      for spyware problems.

      Another way to obtain free software is to watch out for the special

      rebate offers that occur often at the office supply stores for the

      namebrand/popular antivirus and antispyware software programs. In

      March Staples offered a deal with McAfee Internet Security whereby you

      could get the new product free after rebate or even make money. I made

      $15 on the deal after all was said and done, have received all rebates

      with no problem, and have a new version of the program that will be

      good for 1 year when I load it. (Don’t have WinXP on my home computer

      so will be installing on my parent’s when I visit this week.) Always

      check out the free offers at Staples, Office Depot, Office Max. They

      are frequent and save a lot of money.

      Stay secure!
