Brynna is Welsh and is my Wiccan name. It's a feminization of Bryn, which means "high place" or something along those lines (I really should be in bed... damn late-night pizza and everything that goes with it). I don't have a drop of Welsh in me (to my knowledge) and instead attribute my choice of names to a past-life related thing.
My current occupation is Internet Tech Support. I use Panda as my AV prog, but agree with Natolie that AVG and A2 are both great free AV programs. Norton, McAfee & co. truly suck. Besides missing a lot of viruses, they both can slow your system to a crawl.
I update and run Adaware and Spybot at least once a week. Also update Spyware Blaster weekly. If we're suspicious of slow-downs we run Hijack This to see what process is running that shouldn't be there. Have been using Netlimiter for a long time, and I agree with Spinner as to checking what it's allowing to access the net.
Also agree with Spinner about IE. IE is a spawn of the Devil. Unfortunately most of the web revolves around it. My own response is to have two browsers on my pc and use each as according to my needs. My favorite "other" choice is Mozilla Firefox.
Linda, Brynna, etc... going back to bed... damn Italian sausage...
