Maybe the frog could have jumped across if he didn’t have the scorpion on his back!

I spend a lot of my time opposing e-criminals these days, which started when I met captive women online at streaming webcam sites (http://endmafia.com).
So I have a few tips I can share with you. I’ve had security issues with free software generaly, but also AGV & McAfee. Also steer clear of anything assosiated Yahoo! or Google, tool bars, software, even there search engine, which return rigged results (You may remember Google were sued for promoting paedophile pornography, famously refusing to hand a weeks search terms to the US dept. of justice). Searches with live.com, ask.com are better. Ashampoo’s free software has worked well for me.

Good parable, I too am a bigger fan of the young bull, old bull sitting on a hill, but somehow I am not sure that would have worked as well for this one. Perhaps you can keep that one in your back pocket for another unsolicited takeover event, I am sure you will have ample opportunity in the near future.
