Reply #64: Automatic updates [View All]

[FlaGranny]

for virus protection and OS updates daily at 3 in the morning work fine for me. I couldn't possibly afford a Mac. I'll have to stick with my old generic. My son built it for me and has upgraded it once. It has XP OS and runs 24/7 (unless I have to reboot to install a program on occasion). Never had a virus, NEVER get the virus e-mails or SPAM(that, I believe is due to filters at Bellsouth). My modem has a built-in firewall. Security tests run on my computer show it is invisible on the net. I can run any program I want. So I don't really see any need to change computers and that's good, because I couldn't afford to.

Edit: I use several programs for work - NONE work on a Mac.
