my dad thinks it's either this site ...
nah, i've personally checked this site out to great extent and have found that it's as safe as safe gets. probably.
tell dad it's cool.
Just thought I'd tell ya'
My parents used to believe this sort of crap too, that websites like everything i viewed, gave you viruses... Then they got a virus on their computer and thought I had used their computer. However the logic of why would I use their old computer when I have 4 other more powerful computers at my disposal, threw a fairly large wrench into their idea and they submitted. They also couldn't figure out why their beloved Norton couldn't cure them.

Avira will no longer irritate you at every update.
If you are running XP home, you will need to boot to safemode to do this. If your running XP Pro with "Simple File Sharing" turned on, you will either need to turn that off, or use safemode. I have no instructions for Vista so I hope it is similar.[/img]
