To shameem (January 3, 2009):
The software you link to is not free, it's a limited trial. KeePass does the same thing, but is really free and open source.

hi everyone i am new to leo's site i just wanted to recommend a site that yall try if you ever need complete internet security go to www.kaspersky.com i use kaspersky myself and it's the best i have never once had a virus or anything so give it a try :)

I know you're not the only person to spell the plural of virus as virii, but do you know of any authority for it.
I'm afraid I find it mildly irritating.

how do you do that when your using the college libraies computer or it don't even let you get to your e-mail account

My daughter installed Firefox on my laptop and was then unble to access certain facebook applications. How useful is Firefox if the pc is already protected by AVG free version and Spybot? How many javascript settings would have to be changed and is it wise to have more than one anti-virus system running at the same time. I have been using AVG for some years and would be sorry to let it go. Thankyou.
