Doug,

 DC> Curious to know what anti-virus anti-malware software each of you are

  I'm using the IObit Malware Fighter. You can get a yearly subscription for
$40, I believe, but it's valid for 3 computers. They have several other great
utilities for Windows systems, and at times, good deals on them. I think
except for IObit Uninstaller and SmartDefrag, which are for 1 computer only,
per license...most of the rest of the items are for 3 computers upon a yearly
registration. To me, it's worth it. They are at https://www.iobit.com

  In the past, I've used McAfee, CA Internet Security, and F-Prot. 

Daryl
