Hi:
Many, many thanks for your responses. I really appreciate it.
My computer has 'System Works' that includes 'Anti-Virus.'
Also, I purchased 'Spy Sweeper,' as concerning over 'Security,'
because of eBay/Pay Pal activities. However, I still do NOT know
whether I should install this, 'Spy Sweeper,' because 'Beta' I installed
yesterday that could cover all of 'current' security issues? Just, I do NOT
know, then just keep it on the table, in the meanwhile.
Also, I plan to install more 'Security' by downloading and CD I just ordered
through the site you provided. I paid just $1.75 for SH. Thanks!
What is you opinion on 'Spy Sweeper?'
I need your opinion as to 'Spy Sweeper,' because I do not like to make
a mistake by installation of 'Spy Sweeper.'
In regard to 'eBay Security,' ... I just downloaded the site you provided me
and already I'm using it. For this, I am VERY grateful that you read my
post
and gave me the site.
Thanks,
