The 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica
http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/
Most scholars know about the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica,
considered "the best encyclopedia ever written" by many,
including the creators of this site. And if you don't have
a good set of encyclopedias at home (either for your own
use or for the kiddos), you really need to bookmark this
link. This version "fills 29 volumes and contains over 44
million words." It is the ultimate research tool!

Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible viruses,
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up with
the rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
