well it looks like were going to take down that mccaffee junk as it blew 
up on us.

i believe were replacing it with avast! antivirus (i dont know what were 
going to do about firewalls).

Im thinking the administrator (my dad) may have put a password up for 
the shared files and never told me.

anyways, thanks for the help, and feel free to make suggestions based on 
other antivirus/firewalls that you know are good
