No, it is not. I don't use NIS. I have ZA Pro, ad-aware, microsoft
antispyware, and spybot s&d. I also have a linksys wireless router with
speedboost, fully locked down. I don't see anything in NIS that I would
need. Thank you for your reply.

My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3.00 a can.
That's almost $21.00 in dog money.
