|
| 2/8/2011 5:19:54 PM | I am satisfied, but sometimes I do not always feel protected or that my protection is up to date, and that I may already have a virus. |
|
| 4/26/2011 10:35:41 AM | I don't know enough about computers to know if this one is running particularly slowly or not. I would say that "lockups" or the need to reboot are not that frequent. |
