No longer work in IT. Play around with stuff sometimes still and fix stuff for friends and relatives.

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials on all of my computers. The only thing I noticed a problem with is it slowed my nettop down when streaming so I am without AV on that. It gets pretty high ratings so I would go with it.

    In my opinion the easiest way to avoid malware is to use Firefox with Adblock Plus. I've never had a client get an infection after making that switch. Some refuse to use anything but the big blue E but it seems like Firefox works pretty well.
    I finally started that blog - www.thomgreene.com

    The last 3 issues with rapeware (as i call it) I've had to deal with have been via exploits in Flash, PDFs, and Java. So yeah...the browser sometimes has nothing to do with it.
