    They probably will.

    AVG already does this for you if you have it.

    "Safe Search" On google and other site it prescans the site for phishing/malware and posts a green check mark or a red X next to it.

    Waiddaminute, waiddaminute.....I just went to Google and didn't see any "Safe Search" option, where is it? Or is it an AVG thing?

    See, I'm learning! :)

    Thanks,

    Spywareblaster. Thanks to the good folks here for introducing me to it. Its like a Firewall for Spyware, keeps cooties from ever getting into your computer so you don't HAVE to clean them out!

    Got a link for that gadget, Scissor? (Look for the green plus sign in the reply box, click it, you're techy, you'll figure it out :))

    Not necessarily. It depends how you define Malware, because I define it as malicious software - spyware, adware, drive by downloaders, rogue applications, keyloggers, viruses and trojans can also potentially fall into this grouping.

    Cooties is such a better word ;):) OK now y'all go back to your discussion, this is fascinating, thank you!!! This site is wonderful for PreschoolTechies like me because we can learn from the experts and boy is this thread a winner! Back to our regularly scheduled programming.....argue! :)

    Pete, if you have a JCPenneys near you, call them. I saw an ad in last Sunday's paper for $99 glasses, including noline bifocals. My last pair came from JCP, spent extra $ for the thin lightweight lenses but was completely happy with them, once I got used to my first pair of bifocals, that is!!

    Thought of JCP for Marty but I betcha there aren't any in NZ :rolleyes: Sears occasionally has $99 sales, too. My current pair of specs are from Sears.
