Do you have a licence to use this computer, sir?

Curley_Boy
I think this must have been discussed by me (or some other person) before, so if it has forgive me, but I have something to get off my chest. I've just helped my dad upgrade his Quicken software to the latest version and it was a *painful* process.

jazzdrive
Our organization needs an AV solution for about 20 users. We need one that sits on the server and distributes to the clients. I have looked and McAfee and Symantec, but what would you guys recommend? Thanks.

Another %$&^ Browser Helper Object! - Elite Toolbar -

overworked
Well folks, there's another nasty BHO out there that's a pain to get rid of. . . . this one is Elite Toolbar. I've tried the usual suite of Ad Aware and BHO Cop to remove the little #$@%^%$ but it restores itself and registry setting upon every reboot.
