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?
