[Rhodes22-list] Computer Problems-Part two

[3drecon at comcast.net]

Ed,
    I use the DoD provided McAfee anti-virus and firewall.  I can also get the anti-virus from Comcast now but I haven't looked into it.  I never heard of killdisk, but I'll have to check it out.  I also didn't see any Anti-spyware on DoDs (that is Army Knowledge Online (AKO)) website.
