After receiving two viruses last year from McGuffey's lab (as a gift for doing
GA work at school and at home), I, personally, would recommend virus protection
, especially if you are very worried about losing your info. We have Nortons
which gives updates for viruses over the Internet. It was about $40 something
at Shriver which is worth it to me. It also does diagnostics. You may also wa
nt to see if you can get a copy of this or Solomon's from the computer lab or
help desk. I believe that they used to give out Solomon's (also protection) fo
r free. Just my opinion.
