Glad you are happy with your computer. I don't have any problems. Never have had
any really serious ones. I don't belive in anti virus, I had Norton and it screwed
things up. I don't believe in firewalls. I am careful what I download and I wash
my mail before I open it. I have been lucky so far I guess! And I use adware religously
at least twice a week. Occasionally I will use Spider and Easy Cleaner. Wish me luck!
