Thanks for the heads up BellaBoo. If I didn’t have my heart set on an iPad I’d jump on this. Lots of strange things happening with QB threads lately.

Thank you for this information. I am in the market for a new computer and I was wondering what to do about Norton. I hate that program.

Have you asked them why? That would be my first question - why is that not possible?

I bought a laptop several years ago and it works great. I had Trend and it didn't notify me of anything. I need to replace it or renew middle of December. I am at a loss as to what to use.

I've never had anything but trouble with Norton. I prefer McAfee.

I went my local Walmart and they have nothing of what you wrote about. Maybe it is your area only.

bought a laptop from Walmart several yrs ago (HP)and am well pleased. tell me what is this AVG.....I have this laptop in the kitchen, use it for quilting info-like here, and recipes.....do not do any downloading on it....just to "look around". If I want to do business, I go into my office and use the "bigboy".............
