Very fair comment Carol.
At the end of the day, as you say, unless a user brings it to anothers attention,
it really is trial and error unfortunately.
Just wondering, is there a program (or beta for that matter) that utilises the features
of an AV, firewall, spycatcher, advert, hijaker etc on the market.
Even though, I would imagine, that would be difficult to manufacture (pricing wise),
it would make major bucks.
What do you think?
