I use AVG2011 - it's free - and boy it picks up a threat immediatley and removes it in a heart beat! I also have Malwarebytes (free) and once in while I'll do a Spybot scan (free too) . I read many faults about Norton and when I did use it a few years ago I wound up with a bad virus it never caught. For me the best ones I listed are free. Also I 'd use the free microsoft safety scanner - now and then to check for a virus. It takes about three hours to complete and seems to work well. I'll set be... [ More ]

Was it checked? I been working IT for 15 years now, so it is 2nd nature to help. Microsoft Security essentials(google it) is a good free antivirus. Malwarebytes(www.malwarebytes.org) is a good free spyware program. i reccomend paying the $25 one time fee to buy it though(runs real time along with an antivirus). I swear by both of them and they keep things nice and clean. If you reload an antivirus, you have to remove any previous anti viruses though. You can have multiple Spyware programs loaded...

Maybe it's because your IP address shows that you're from ESTONIA, not from Florida. Not even from the United States.

yeah and its not working ....

I basically sent them questions asking about how many lower tier prizes are left and where the winners were sold. I want to know exactly so I can map out the stores i will buy tickets from. i dont want to buy a roll of a game from a store that has sold a winner of $1,000 or more on that particular game. it usually means the next rolls are cold. maybe they caught onto my tactics and decided to block me from the website ?? maybe it was because of my last email whe...
