ROADRUNNER users!
Dear "She Sails" (Jacque?)...
1. Time-Warner's ROADRUNNER is available in many, many markets throughout the
U.S. I have NO way of knowing whether or not it is available in each listserv
member's area. But since there are literally MILLIONS of people who DO use
RoadRunner, I thought it would be valuable to pass along my suggestion.
2. You mentioned "ComCast"...If YOU are a COMCAST user, (which I doubt, since
your email address says "clearwire") you might be interested in knowing that I
contacted ComCast and, like RoadRunner, they too offer a FREE security package
(Coincidentally, they give away "McAfee").
3. Finally, I also took the time to go to the CLEARWIRE web site. Guess what?
They, too, offer a security package. (Though, I can't tell from their web site
if it's free.)

Jerry,
I went to the Roadrunner web sight and got the following response when
exploring availability:
There is no TWC or Road Runner Services at this address. Your provider is
Comcast.
As your Listserv grows it would be helpful to identify the region your
suggestion applies to. :-)

Subject: [SeniorTech] FREE anti-virus, anti-spyware protection for
ROADRUNNER users!
SeniorTech listserv members:
Are you currently using a "subscription-based" anti-virus, anti-spyware
program such as Norton or McAfee? If so, you're probably paying around $40.00 a
year for this protection.
But, did you know that if you connect to the internet through Time-Warner's
ROADRUNNER service, you can STOP paying those annual update fees? That's
because RoadRunner provides you with FREE anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall
protection, and more! Below is a "blurb" from RoadRunner's web page describing
all of the protections they offer. All you have to do is DOWNLOAD the
program(s) and install them. You also need to REMOVE your current anti-virus
program, since having more than one protection program running can cause
conflicts. Then you can let your subscription to McAfee or Norton simply EXPIRE
and NOT renew it!

Here's what RoadRunner offers you for FREE!
Road Runner Anti-Virus: Viruses and worms are invading the Internet and
computers everywhere. It is important to be informed about these harmful
threats that can cause harm to our computers and important files. This is why
Road Runner offers anti-virus software. This software automatically scans
e-mails and attachments so that you can have fun on the Internet without worry.
Road Runner anti-virus software works hard to detect, fix, and eliminate any
of the 5,500 viruses, worms, and code that it may recognize so that your
computer will not be infected or slowed down by a threat.
Road Runner Anti-Spyware: Anti-spyware software comes free with Road
Runner's CA Security Software. Say goodbye to Spyware slowing down your hard
drive and elevated risks due to spyware as Road Runner locates and removes all
Spyware from your computer.
Firewall Protection: Now you can control your network traffic and
customize security features with Road Runner Firewall. Hackers will no longer
be able to gain access to your computer with this high level of protection.
Anti-Spam: Road Runner understands the nuisance of receiving increasing
amounts of spam in our inboxes today. That is why they added an anti-spam
feature to their CA Security Software. This feature identifies spam and
separates it from your important e-mails.
Pop-Up Blocker: This Road Runner tool stops those annoying pop-up
advertisements from surfacing on your computer.
