Ed, if you ever change your mind and install AV, you can say you're only doing it to protect your e-mail correspondents. That wouldn't be giving in. :)

>>I'm so used to complete reinstalls that I can do them in about 3 hours<<

Only 3 hours??

Man, with the programs, hardware, patches, upgrades, configs, I have, it takes me 14-16 hours to rebuild my hard drive. I have formatted and installed the OS on my various computers at least 100 times in the last 12 years, at least that much.

I use my Bullet Proof Back-up System to avoid any problems:

However, you will find that when you format and re-install, system performance increases dramatically.
