Hello Joel,

Tell me about it. I turned everything off in McAfee (using a HW firewall) but it keep coming up with these stupid alert boxes. I'll probably dump it.

Especially the stuff that works only for a month and then reduces itself to a pittance unless you pay up. To me that's the perfect way to destroy a potential customer's interest.

Regards, Joerg

Hello Rich,

Did that. Still get the warning.

But I am now quite used to have warnings of all kind pop up and clicking them off. Man, how much of a better product was (or is) DOS.

Hello Andy,

What's wrong with it?

Hello Spehro,

ROFL!

Reminds me of my first employer. They had to have a revolving company sign. Not the virtual one but real and on a huge galvanized mast. The freeway that went by ended up becoming a ghostway because it hadn't really been needed for any commute routes (your tax cents at work...). It was like connecting a wire between two nodes that are both at the same potential at all times.

What I really dislike is when otherwise reputable companies won't let you on their web site unless you download flash player. They aren't on my black list but I haven't used any of their products in designs either lately.

I was asked for my opinion on a new web portal for a company a couple days ago. Lots of glitz, lean on the meat as usual. My honest answer was "none of the above". Maybe they won't ask me again but I had to be honest.

Regards, Joerg

I'll assume that you've forgotten what I wrote after the above sentence. Everything in your sentence seems to imply, however, that you never even read it.

I spend more time removing McAfee and Norton stuff from the computers I rebuild for disabled veterans than on anything else. They don't un-install properly, so I spend a lot of time with regedit to find and remove everything. AOL is next on the list of bad un-installs.

If you're rebuilding recycled systems, why not just format the drives and give them a new, fresh, clean install?

Good Luck! Rich

Actually a few have, because i would not bother with them because of that.

Now be kinder, this is a simple way to force you into one of the one of the consumer models that the marketing department NEEDS you to fit into.
