[pchelpers] Re: News:Microsoft to offer free anti-virus software

Thanks John, i have the "older" XP pro, but don't think i'll rely on MSN to
protect my pc. Will still purchase TrendMicro Pro next yr. It has done a
good job for the yrs that i have used it. BTW, i got it for almost free last
yr by waiting till a company in Tempe,AZ, www.*frys*.com/ had it on sale and
rebates too. Only had to pay the local sales tax and postage for mail
rebate. Kathleen

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
