atw: SEC: UNCLASSIFIED Illiterate websites (WAS Re: PC protection)

Allan
Please let us know if you get any response to your correspondence with the
Vet website designers. I had a look after reading your post and noticed
these quotes, which certainly exemplify the"illiteracy" you refer to.
*       They also change you Homepage 
*       These screens will usually explain in technical jargon what your
actually installing on your system in addition to the software you are aware
of installing. 
*       [A user comment] "Vet covers all the bases; it is very fast and has
a negligible impact in overall commuter performance. Super effective at
spotting and dealing with viruses"
*       Some practical advise on avoiding and dealing with spam

Maybe we could generate some work for ourselves from companies like this, if
we can convince them that their sites could use some advice (*not*
'advise'!) from writing professionals.

suggested, and eventually settled on a subscription to Vet.

was probably assembled by an illiterate year 12 graphics student.
