Computer protection
Jul. 25th, 2005 05:19 pmSo, I wiped out Mom's computer and reinstalled everything yesterday. It is now lovely and clean, and empty. Clean slate. Intimidating, whoa!
Also, spoke with someone in Tokyo, I think, last night. That makes about 4 people in India, 1 in Asia, and 2 from the Deep South. And Clayton, who helped me install the drivers last night. Who had... well, only a HINT of an accent when telling me a website.
But that website would be the reason for the post today. He gave me a site with free anti-virus and anti-spyware programs that they use.
I figure, hey, good enough for Dell Support people...
www.dsvs.org, and under "Spyware Support," choose "Microsoft AntiSpyware 1.0.615 Beta 1." Then, under "Virus Support," a bit further down the page, choose "Grisoft AVG 7.0."
So, thinking they can't hurt. Passing on the few advantages of spending 4 hours on the phone Saturday and 2 hours on Sunday.
