Any recommendations for a GOOD anti virus program since Norton seems to be in the dumps?

Avast

Avast is free and damn good, but you also definitely need Malwarebytes.

Opening Vista in a safe mode allows you to select a random date at any point in time.

Thank you.  Very good to know.

Duh, Alpha Mare recommended Avast! I'll second that recommendation. AVG has missed stuff in the past and caused me great amounts of grief. Avast has a free version. It works quite well.

AARRRGGG!!! My power just came on after being off for 12 hours.

Thanks all.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
