Hmmm... My computer store recommends it. I had something prior that came
recommended to me by someone on another newsgroup but it was crap. I want
to say that it was Adaware but that might be wrong. As soon as I got it,
not only did I get all sorts of spam but it was constantly telling me that
it found suspicious stuff on my computer that wasn't really suspicious at
all.

Does your wife have Facebook? I am getting a lot of emails from people on
my Facebook with attachments. I know that it isn't them simply because they
refer to me as Julia and I don't go by that.
