Joe--Thanks for starting this thread!

Joe and other contributors--Again thanks. Lots of good info.

Bee--I envy your luck, and I know where you're coming from on "glurge," which has endeared its way into my vocab list. Just last week, I told somebody to please cut out the "you must past this on to 15 friends in five seconds or you're not a decent human being" type of feel-good chain junk. Glurge. Has a real ring to it.

Anybody have any opinions/experiences with Brave Sentry or Bullguard?
I'd love to hear, before I install any more apparently useless "security" programs.
