“Google has launched a multi-million dollar ad blitz
promoting online privacy and security.”(Irony is alive and well…)

* Review: Comodo Cleaning Essentials
“Can’t install your full-scale antivirus because active
malware prevents it? The free and portable Comodo Cleaning
Essentials doesn’t need installation. It won’t sweep away
all the inactive malware traces, but it does a good job of
eliminating the processes that fight installation of
security software.“

“Who’s the best of the best, and how’d we come up with it?

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.
Note: You are responsible for using this blog and its content. I am in no way liable for any losses caused by user error, viruses and/or other malware, hardware or software failure, or any other conceivable reason.

Gaia,
Beyond the wisdom expressed in the quotable quote “There’s Lies. There’s Damn Lies. And then there’s statistics”, I should caution folks that my survey (and it’s results) are most unscientific, and has had far too few respondents to mean a thing.
All I know for certain is (at least.. I think I know for certain.. maybe.. possibly) that if someone you care about is an “Internet addict” and it is affecting and impacting your relationship with them.. well, that is a sad and unhappy thing.. and I don’t think it can be easily ignored.
Life in modern times is not easy.. and I think people are too quick to lay blame and point fingers.. but a problem is a problem no matter what name it is given.

Yes… there’s “a big picture of this subject”… the “pros and cons”… and I think both are covered well by all.
