[Shotimes] OT computer security

[Dave Pillsbury]

I'm running McAfee Internet security suite and NOTHING is getting 
though, Even my mail at one point had everything turned up way to 
high.The firewall is great. the virus scan really works. I don't have a 
pop up or adware problem and I don't use IE.
