Some say they lose normal mail that way:-) It will also so have included its McAfee virus pregame that you pay for in ISP fees. We know that much is inadvertently thought to be a virus problem but we cannot on this list assume anything and in my view it is better to answer the users anxiety first. A scan will at least tell the user no it not that. I always try to go from where the user is in their thinking , not where I think they should be? Hi: Funny you should say that, cumbersome, I hardly think so. AOL appears as fast as anything else I've tried and certainly the easiest to use, and the settings let me do things the way I want them.
>As long as you don't mind it taking over your computer programs and streaming you with constant adverts I guess not. Free never seems to be the best deal, and for me with McAfee, $9.95 a month is little to pay for all the security and peace of mind I get, and besides, McAfee is not what I pay for but rather the AOL services I get. >AOL do a deal with McAfee and get if free then charge you monthly to use it Does not sound like a good deal to me on top of ISP fees And, I prefer not to assume anything until the problem has been identified. I have been in one repair business or another for over 55 years and I learned that, to make a living at it, one could not afford to do work that did not lead straight to the identified problem. It's a good thing Doctors don't work your way. I sure would hate being treated for the flue if I had malaria. But, come to think of it, some DRs do work that way, or so it seems. But, I guess, everybody has their way and I don't usually criticize anybodies choices or methods. Seems though that the person said they already had Virus protection that had not identified a virus. Bye. > I belive they said they thought they had a virus that their current protection had not found. The analogy with medicine is not quite the same is it, Computers are not a life and death matter. I have been around just as long and of course when I visit a computer I can talk to the owner and see the machine. On a list I suggest a quick easy way to answer their question. I am not criticizing your choices only you apparent condemnation of what I suggested to the user. **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars.
