For budget conscious surfers, go to www.grisoft.com and download AVG 6.0 free edition. It is not quite as good as Nortons but it is free which should suit Senior Net's needs quite well. It is also better than McAfee (see June Consumer Mag) which your member could then uninstall if he wished. Cheers Billy 8-{)	Guest (0)
