Bil,
Some of us have no clue.
Some know how and do it.
Then there is me. I know how, but don't know when. I have had to
disable my AV program a few times, but do it only when directed by
someone who knows when it must be done.
Most of us have enough trouble learning TV's to make a living, and use
the computer as necessary. Don't have time (or the guts) to try
something that might cause trouble. If only days would last longer...
