If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options I don't mind paying for a software program at all. I just haven't heard
anything about Trend on any of the newsgroups. Which one should I get?
Kasperky or NOD32. I want one that isn't a resource hog, one that is user
friendly and doesn't interfere with my surfing and internet work. I had
Norton and hated it, if that is of any help.
Thanks.
