I have tried several anti-virus, and they all seem like a mix bag. I have tried Norton (missed a lot of stuff), AVG (was free, used it for 5 months, then got a really bad virus it couldn't deal with) and Pervex, more of a scam then a program. Eventually tried Cyberdefender, and have been happy with it now for about a year because: I liked its user interface, and easy to use, which was good when my kid was on the system and he hit an infected site - Cyberdefender walked him through it. It found some viruses and spyware that I knew was on the system (AVG did not find them), and took care of them (I used the paid version of Cyberdefender - the free version is only a scanner). Protected me from some funky virus when I hit a blog that tried to take over my browser. The paid version comes with 24/7 computer help. My experience with them was very positive, not pushy, just trying to help, was able to to determine that one of my ram modules was bad, and how to fix it. Total cost was much lower then hauling the system to Best Buy so they could keep it 2 weeks and overcharge me. JMHO

Tanks guys - looking forward to the convo, and will get some pics up soon.

I always wear a helmet, cuz I feel like a moron if I don't. I look at it this way: If some guy tried to walk across a busy street - with his eyes closes - you would call him a moron. This is because by doing something as simple as opening his eyes, he might actually be able to cross without getting hit by a car. Doing something simple could save his life. Putting on a helmet, is as simple a opening your eyes while crossing the street. I have seen the results of head injury - and none of you would want to be a basket case like those I know who are - if only they had worn a helmet...

Howday, New Venture rider here - love my 1999!! Just checking out the site to see what I can learn and maybe say/type a few words myself.
