For those of you that would like a free working version of Trend PC-cillin 2007 there is a beta version available until August 22nd. I've been a PC-cillin 2005 & 2006 user and really like this highly rated virus protection software program. The new version has all the bells and whistles and then some. Here is the link:

Of Course if someone Hacks your Site or Your Personal Info as in Identity Theft, the FBI will Gladly & Quickly (for Free) Track Down the Perp/s, World Wide & Prosocute for you.

A simple call or EM will get the FBI ball rolling pretty quick. All Computers leave "fingerprints" when posting or philandering on the web, and with the right skills & knowledge "everyone" can be traced, [img]smile.gif[/img]

Of course for your PC a Firewall is the first line of defense.

I use Trend PC-cillin too and have been petty happy with it. Though it won't keep out all viruses, they update nearly every day and you are getting some of the most complete protection avaialble. And their customer service is orders of magnitude better than Norton. You can actually call and get someone to help without being on hold for two hours.

Trend's 2007 version appears to pick up more cookies and spyware than their 2006 version. I also use Spybot and noticed that Trend 2007 picked up a few that Spybot didn't detect which wasn't the case with their 2006 version.

Their new beta version is a great offer and saves you a few dollars. I haven't had any problems with bugs in this new program. Way to go Trend!
