Thank you for replying to my question and for your suggestion. I am
defiantly going to look into OneCare. I was not just necessarily looking for
free software. I do have to say that the cost will come into play. I don't
mind paying for the software and even paying a yearly subscription fee, but
it will have to be very reasonable. I was going to subscribe to AVG's premium
service until I saw the price. They wanted fifty some dollars for one year. I
wouldn't mind paying $50.00 for the first year, but to keep charging that
price each year is robbery.
Thanks again,
James
