.... and speaking of virus protection I use "AVG free" from 
www.download.com. I am a PC tech and as such can remove 99% of the virus that I catch and know what sites to go to and where to stay away from. I have found McAfee and Norton to slow down your system big time. If you have these programs and want them off do a search on "Norton removal tool" or McAfee removal tool" run the removal program and load AVG, keep in mind it's free and you get what you pay for.
