Chuck I agree with you 101 percent. After gator I don't trust any of them.
I was just curious to go to their page and read what they have to say. My
curiosity has gotten me in more trouble than any one other thing. For
instance I forgot you aren't suppose to download anything from M$ unless you
go to their home page. I got one e-mail that pointed me to a page. I went
there it. It looked Just like M$ page. It said If I wanted to make my
computer safe to DLL this. First it uninstalled everything I had installed
from update page. Then it DLL for 20 minutes. When it got through I did not
have Out Look. All my commands read tree, limbs, trunk stumps, leaves and
etc. Let this be a lesson for those of you that don't know. If you are
curious it sometimes gets you in big trouble.
