I don't get why that was addressed towards me!? I always tell people to update their AV and do security updates from MS but avoid IE7 for now. Also tell them to use Firefox and/or Thunderbird depending upon their problems. I advocate safety and security so I don't have to fix the same fsck'ing problems day in and day out. Cleaning up malware and viruses is not on the list of things I enjoy doing. It just comes with the job. At the same time, having to clean off bloated AV software the brings machines to a crawl is also time consuming. NIS 04 through 06 have been horrible products. People have had issues with every commercial and/or free solution available. All of the nightmares I face everyday with crappy hardware or a crappy operating system that requires constant reinstalling and calling folks on the other side of the world to activate is maddening. Many comment that I probably don't want to use a computer when I get home to which I reply "I just don't use Windows". They are welcome to gather any information from there that they please. On the flip side, I don't advocate Macs to these people either. Just safety.
