[QUOTE="DaFlake, post: 1035641, member: 57419"] One more to add to the uninstall that stuff camp. You are being overly paranoid with a system that does not currently have the virus problems that a Windows machine has. Leave the firewall on, that will at least hide you, but get rid of the resource hog anti-virus software. Also.... If you install more than one AV on a machine it is possible to get false positives out of it. For years Mcafee and Symantec would report each other as viruses. More is not always better. If you want to protect yourself from identity theft, educating yourself is the best bet. ;) [/QUOTE]
