anti virus program

I know, you’re sorry to hear I have a computer with ME. There is no longer any support for ME and I can’t use my isp’s free ‘High Speed Security Suite’ since it won’t load. What’s weird though is that I use that comp from time to time and I’m running without virus protection or a firewall. I do notice after about 50 or 60 uses that it begins to slow down. Before that happens though, it’s really fast. Maybe faster than my new wiz-bang vista home premium. Maybe.

Here comes the really interesting part. Once it slows noticeably, I’ll reformat the harddrive, which takes all of an hour. But then it’s really fast again and since I don’t store anything on the ME, it’s a great email, FAOL and general surfing tool. Kinda like a stripped down car…no back seat, no radio, no carpet or mats etc. You, know…gets great mileage, is fun to drive and no one else wants to drive it.

Not advocating ‘running bare’ but I sure can whiz through my email, FAOL and even do some high velocity surfing.

Cheers,

Hopefully it works good for you Normand.

Just wanted to say though, I used the CA Etrust Anit-virus as well for about 2 years untill Decmeber when I picked it a nasty virus on my old system. Since I bought a whole new system in January I went with the free AVG and have to say it seems better than the CA one I use to use so far.

Hopefully your safe from virus probs…but take a look at the AVG one anyway, you might like it better.
