-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Secunia

I updated Quick Time and then decided to update Win Zip even though I don't 
use it rather than uninstall.  It went o.k. and I now have another 
"evaluation trial" for WinZip.  Maybe I should have just uninstalled but 
this should fix any risk factor.  I am at 98% secure.
Now the last one I need to deal with is Open Office.  I purchased a disk to 
install Open Office quite a while ago because downloading it with dialup 
seemed unrealistic.  I don't use Open Office as I have so many card programs 
that I use instead.  It was just fun to see what Open Office had to offer 
(and it is a neat alternative to Microsoft Office)  I am trying to decide if 
I want to try updating Open Office as it may still take quite a while or 
just to uninstall it?  Any advise from anyone out there???
