Well said!
There is much wrong in this country, however, we have much to be thankful for because of those who wanted to make this country great and were willing to give their lives to make it so.
Thanks to all of you who make this country worth loving.

What’s patriotism? Definitions differ

Patriotism is loving your country. Patriotism is standing when the national anthem plays. Patriotism is putting your hand on your heart to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Some say it is unpatriotic to oppose the war, but hear me out: Say if your kid brings home a bad report card. Are you proud of him? Probably not. But do you still love him? Yes.

Ran across this site and found this great article on a little known tip for blocking Malware by editing your hosts file.
I like this site!

Modify Your Hosts File to Block Malware

By now, most of us know what spyware is and what it can do to your computer. If your PC is connected to the Internet, chances are you have some form of spyware. It attaches to your PC as you casually roam websites or download files. But you can be proactive and block some of the known malware websites by altering your hosts file in Windows.

They have a bunch of learning modules for kids to seniors to law enforcement.
Check em out.
clipped from ilearn.isafe.org

Which module do I watch?
There are five options with five different users in mind. Those registered as educators with i-SAFE have the greatest
access to view the modules because you work closely with students and parents. Those registered as parents and fifty+
have access to either of those modules since many users fit both categories. However, students are limited to the i-MENTOR
Training Network. And the Operation i-SHIELD module is reserved for those in law enforcement. Below is a breakdown of each
module. To begin, please register by creating a user name and password at the top of this page. That will help direct you to
the appropriate i-LEARN module. Enjoy!

I really hope this works. It will serve to educate users faster about the dangers of online safety.
On the other hand, I dont think it will cut down on the number of infections anytime soon.

Sunbelt products are widely used and customer satisfaction is at a high right now.
Good luck to them both.

Clearswift Partners with Sunbelt Software to Offer Top Class Anti-spyware Solution
This continual monitoring ensures spyware and the websites intentionally or inadvertently delivering malware are identified with a high degree of accuracy.

“The partnership with Clearswift seemed a natural step for both companies since the combination of the MIMEsweeper Web Appliance and our CounterSpy engine brings clear benefits to the end user,” commented Chad Loeven, vice president of business development, at Sunbelt Software. “With our technologies working hand in hand, I can comfortably say that you will not find a more comprehensive web security solution on the market today.”
