     You can drink an extra cup for me. I never acquired a taste for it, but   
   am currently drinking diet green tea citrus...over a half gallon a day. Tea   
   is a diuretic, but better for me than carbonated beverasges.

     That was the first one I used.

     There were a lot of false positives with Norton's. And, most anti-virus   
   programs throw a fit if they detect another anti-virus deal on the system.   
   The only one I've seen that does not throw a fit is the Sophos Anti-Virus   
   software.   
      
    DC>  The only application I didn't like of theirs (since my last post) is   
    DC> their driver update.  It installed an updated driver to my laptop that   
    DC> disabled my Miracast, which took me a good hour to research how to turn   
    DC> back on.  At the end of the day I had to delete and reinstall the wifi   
    DC> 6 driver prior to it working.   
      
     I had to get rid of Firefox. Something this last Windows 10 update did,    
   Firefox would never load after a reboot. Plus, it kept crashing when I was   
   on Facebook. And, I surely don't want to use Microsoft Edge.
