Already installed all but McAfee (using Norton instead), and as luck would have it, I found a virus that Norton did not have a fix for (Startpage DM). So I had to fix it manually. Good choices all. Best Regards, Steve46

 

[Tech Analysis]

Got an even better one I use called Spyware Blaster.

After using it, a Spybot S&D scan turned up no - that's zero - problems.

AGV has a freeware virus scanner that a lot of the PC magazines rate almost as good as norton or symantic.
