   Thanks, I have only used McAfee (it came installed on the XP pc), Avast!   
   and Commodo, I hadn't seen the Version Update feature in neither McAfee   
   or Commodo so was suprised to see Avast! had it, so I stopped using Secunia.

   OUCH!, that hurts.   
      
   One (some) of the Newsletters I read mentioned to always look to see if   
   a Checkmark has already been put in a Box to make IT the Default.   
      
   I see a Prechecked Box to make Google Chrome the Default in Avast!'s   
   Version Update checker and uncheck it before I Close the Avast! window.   
      
    EV> Because I see this 'suggestion' from Avast to begin using the Chrome

    HG> I have Chrome installed on Windows machines but I use it very seldom.   
      
   Thank You.

   I can't recall if I've seen anything about the Edge browser.   
   I suppose I'll have to have a look-see on DuckDuckGo.com to learn about   
   the Edge browser.   
      
   NICE!, that Edge updates its self.   
      
   I use a XP Limited Users Account and have to switch Accounts periodically   
   to a Admin Account to update Firefox or Opera when the Avast! option lets   
   me knows I need to do it.

   Recently, Firefox has crashed many times, some times more than once a day.   
      
   I'm mostly at fault for having opened many Tabs to read later, and opening   
   several Firefox windows with many Tabs.   
      
   ROUNDTUITS!   I never find time to read what is in the Tabs I have opened,   
   and always want to read some other website (and open more Tabs to read later).   
      
   For several months I have been seeing the LEDs on my Router blink about   
   every 5 seconds and have been wanting to finish reading what is in the Tabs   
   I've marked for later reading so I could finally just have one Firefox   
   window open so I could learn if the LED blinking is caused by something in   
   one of the Tabs talking back to its webpage or if (perish the thought),   
   Malware has taken over this XP pc.

    HG> Years ago I told you that neither Mothers nor Fathers day are

    HG> and Finland celebrate those days on the same date.   
      
   Forgive Me, I didn't remember that when I added Your's and Jean's Email   
   Address in the To: field of my Fathers Day message.   
      
   Everyone else I sent the Email to lives in the U.S.A., I hadn't thought   
   about different Countries having different dates for Special Days.   
      
   I probably won't remember it, but what dates are Mothers Day and Fathers Day   
   celebrated in your part of the world?
