The good is MS has rolled out in Beta testing right now a anti-virus product that is getting very good reviews and the best part is it will be free!!! Not sure of the time line when you will see Microsoft Security Essentials. <br /> <br />Ms. Ann: I think you will find itfasthairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16578895011107651084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428038630507918211.post-32823629157663878162009-06-18T19:50:24.917-05:002009-06-18T19:50:24.917-05:00fasthair, great info, thank you. matter of fact i ...fasthair, great info, thank you. matter of fact i even discussed this with my office it guy, and he agreed... :)mq01https://www.blogger.com/profile/11742343758057005313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428038630507918211.post-57753531789607689152009-06-18T02:05:38.281-05:002009-06-18T02:05:38.281-05:00Damn !

Just simple stuff that only takes a bit of time and cost nothing while not impacting your system performance.<br /><br />Ms. Stacy: All comments and advice welcome and you gave some solid ones.

This is more than just a matter of preference. Microsoft often takes forever to patch known vulnerabilities; Firefox often has issues patched within 24 hours.<br /><br />- Get a firewall and USE IT. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04582046943770681695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428038630507918211.post-22982176628470713182009-06-15T18:24:27.419-05:002009-06-15T18:24:27.419-05:00All good advice.
