Sounds like someone in question may be working for a particular
Antivirus vendor?The free ones also offer paid versions,I am using Avast
professional and it does everything I want it to do.I don't like
internet security suites.Stand alones are better in my opinion.It varies
on the individual and circumstances and the delicacy and secrecy of the
files one has on his or her pc.I have learned alot from people like
Art,David Lipman and others in the groups.And guess what?I am still
learning.Thank God..Another great question of the ages is this.Who in
the heck do we vote for in November?lol.. What choice do we have?Sad
huh..Sincerely RH710
