Footnote...for anyone thinking of going Comcast. Over at the McAfee Security Forums we are forever fielding complaints from Comcast customers using their free McAfee protection. They consistently refuse to keep their customers up to date with the latest versions until at least a year after they are released and that causes major headaches for all concerned.

So it's "caveat emptor" - LET THE BUYER BEWARE.

The Prez of our computer club got a message from Comcast .. He was being shut down.
His computer had been hijacked and was being use to send Spam .. Boy was he really embarrassed.
They told him to run the Mcafee cleanup tools .. and they'd turn him back on.

My neighbor is a security guru ...
He discovered that one the Comcast home page ads was trying to send him a root kit.
I haven't heard yet how embarrassed Comcast was.

After a second cup of morning coffee .. Your speed might look like this ..

AVG Pro ftw :p It's well worth the little bit of money.
Even the ultimate AVG one is, it's just a bit too expensive for me atm.
Mcafee, Symatic, and Nortin just can't compare.
I would get customers whos computers were flooded with viruses, which is why they brought them in, and they would sometimes have the payed Mcafee, Symantic, or Nortin.
I'd scan them with their Anti-Virus, then with the free edition of AVG and show them the comparison. Their's would find 2 viruses, AVG would find 30 something viruses. And that's not including all the tracking cookies AVG also gets :p
Then I'd let then decide if they wanted to keep theirs, or upgrade to the free AVG :p haha
