Re: Paper clip...

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hmmmmm, very interesting. Shall have to give this some serious thought.
Thank you very much for this advice. I just use Symantec to check my hard
drive. I wasn't using any virus program to scan my incoming or outgoing
email until I installed AVG. When I reinstall AVG, I shall do a custom
install as per your advice. Thank you.
