bosquedog,

I have noticed a very slight slow down on my computer, but nothing extreme. Whenever I install a new program, Surfguard pops up and ask me whether I want to deny or accept the installation or to be prompted. It took a little getting used to this action, but I am learning to accept it.

I haven't had any problems visiting different Web sites but since I had the problem with the modem dialing the 900 number last month, I am more cautious in my Web surfing. For now, I am going to leave it installed. I'll let you know if I run into any problems or if it stops any uninvited software.

Overall, I am pleased...so far.

B.K.

BDog,
I downloaded Surfguard last week and my computer froze up 3 consecutive reboots. So I uninstalled it and life is back to norm. I don't know what it conflicts it had but they were
major. FWIW, Cruz
