[CGUYS] McAfee vs. MS Security Essentials
Date:Mon, 26 Apr 2010 23:44:43 -0400 From:Alvin Auerbach alvin.auerb...@verizon.net Which is best for Windows 7: Run McAfee, run MS Security essentials, or run both? Thanks After the bad press McAfee received last week when they put a critical windows file in their jail, I would not recommend McAfee. MS Security Essentials seems to be a pretty good AV. and the price is right. FREE I personally run Vipre Premium on all my machines as they have an all you can eat for home use for less than $50 a year. It is an AV and firewall program as well as a web browser filter. No financial ties to me. It just works with a small footprint.

The problem is that another gadget blog that was approached asked their lawyers and they told them not to get anywhere near the thing. It would have been considered stolen property. CA state law is apparently lost items are to be held for six months and attempts must be made to find the legitmate owner before they become property of the finder. So doing things like taking it apart would be considered illegal.

I never said what Gizmodo did was correct, Im just saying maybe Apple should be a little less Inspector Javert and a little more Hardy Boys.

[CGUYS] fios renewal was:Digital TV [Was: Broadband Speeds Map]
my promo fios ran its' course. so, since i had a really lot of time to waste, i tried to renew online. i cannot renew on line, as i am an existing customer. all packages on line are promo packages and are for new customers. for the triple play(tv,computer, telephone), the telephone person gave me 3 options . lo,mid,hi:$120,130, and 145. two year package, with a $360 pro rated early cancellation penalty. i had a $110 cost for the middle package. the mid pack is 5/20 up/down. the hi pack was 30/30. big push (lots of sales ups) to get me to get that wonderful speed. after starting on acoustical modems, 5/20 seems pretty fast to me. they will not show in writing what is in any of the packages. they will not show in writing what is in the cancellation package(that's 360 bucks). i got some verbal stuff, but did not tape it, and do not believe they would honor it , anyway. i had received a letter from verizon notifying me that my 130 promo mid package was expiring, and going from 110 to 120. this has no cancel penalty. so i took the mid package at 120. i received an email conformation that i have renewed. my new mid pack is $125. i just got a hard copy promo letter from Comcast for their triple play for $99. anyone have this package? any ideas what is in the package in the way of speeds and feeds and HD channels?

If there are two people at the address, you can cancel one and re-up new in the other name. Then you can get the promo overcharge instead of the existing customer overcharge. You're lucky. We can't get FIOS. Nobody lives in this county. Move to France and get TV, phone, Internet, cellular for $33/mo total. But you can't have that in the US. Too bad.
