Word Verification On Comments
Just a quick post to let you know I had to turn "word verification" back on~I know its a pain, but after getting an email with a virus attached, I am back to using all the safety measures I can. I am very careful about what I open, I have McAfee virus protection, but this virus was caught AFTER it was installed...a Trojan virus...that looked identical to McAfee's program, telling me that a virus had been quaranteened, after checking the box "okay", it installed the virus......what the virus amounted to was a company that wanted to sell you "protection" for $16.95 a month to uninstall the virus and keep you "protected" (yeah from THEM!)...a nightmare I didn't need.......

You can never be too careful. My next computer will be an Apple!
Diane, this notorious little booger has made my life miserable for the last two years! As an IT person, I can definitely attest that it is WAY better to be safe than sorry! I think that having both moderation and word verification might be overkill, but as I said, better safe than sorry! And can I say - Kelly - Apple is no guarantee - if you get email or surf the web you are vulnerable too, just maybe not as much YET. Hang in there! ~chris
