tantamount

In 2002 and 2003 I was focused on security on my home box and finally learned enough to realize most virus and spyware were gaining access via IE. When I use Mozilla Firebird I get almost no virus or spyware hassle. When I crank up norton antivrus I seem to immediately draw fire as if I painted a target upon myself. Many people seem to have problems with the microsoft corporate marketing philosophy such as not being able to instal xp on other computers in there own home after paying $200
