  Tks Ira-
   
  Good info here for the group!  I too use 
  Spybot and have heard noting but good things about the program.  Maybe 
  someone
  can make sense of this comment; re Spybot?  
  
  <FONT face=Arial 
size=2>=====================================
   
  "Run once a week.  When installing, use the 
  "backup registry" option.  That way if it deletes something on initial 
  run you can
  get it back.  Get it here:  <A 
  href="">http://www.spybot.info/index.php?page=download
   
  You can screw things up with this program if you 
  don't understand it.  That is why you should use the "backup 
  registry"
  program first.  I don't leave this in 
  RAM.  I run when I want."
  <FONT face=Arial 
  size=2>===========================================
  I'd appreciate any insights or comments about the 
  above referenced blurb.  Can someone please explain the part 
  about
  not leaving in in RAM?  Thank 
  you.
   
  Chas

    My experience only.  Norton was nothing 
    but problems for me. Literally messed up my computer.  AVG is good 
    and Housecall is also very good.  Both can be updated with no 
    charge.  Also Spybot get rid of tracking software along with 
    Spy sweeper by Yahoo, both free, are excellent. Yahoo also has an ad blocker 
    that works well.  Also free.

      Hello Group-
       
      eSignal tech support (a rep anyway) basically 
      said that ZA is incompatible with their data feed.  I just called the 
      guy who
      built my computer and he CLAIMS I don't need 
      ZA either BECAUSE I have D-Link Ethernet Router; which 
      supposedly
      acts as a firewall.  Especially since on 
      the computer I am having problems; is not used for e-mail or web 
      surfing.  NOW;
      just fwiw; I have learned that this is 
      seemingly a 'contrary opinion' but those with experience have told me that 
      they much
      prefer AVG over Norton for a anti-virus 
      program.  I can't back up that claim; but it seems the geeks have 
      bought into the
      proposition that "Norton's The Best"; mantra; 
      but feedback from those with ecclectic experience say AVG is the 
      tops.
      I don't understand the conflicting opinions; 
      I'm just sharing feedback I've heard from experienced users.  Maybe 
      it's what
      these guys are doing with their computers; 
      dunno; but the AVG feedback is from traders.  The guy who built my 
      computer
      said that Norton has the propensity to slow 
      down one's system.  Thank you James for sharing your insights; and to 
      the
      others who have responded.
       
      Best wishes,
      Chas

        I concur with the recommendations of 
        mailbin.  In my experience, Zone Alarm can cause conflicts with 
        other communications software that are intermittent in character and 
        thus hard to diagnose.  I have found the program difficult to 
        completely uninstall.  While I do not use eSignal, IT professionals 
        on whom I rely suggest that traders who use real time data feeds may be 
        better served by protecting themselves with a good hardware 
        firewall-router (which can be purchased inexpensively) and the 
        use of a good antivirus program such as Norton AntiVirus 2004.  No 
        connection to any of these companies - again, just my personal 
        experience.
