If you have Win7 or later, the default anti virus does a great job. I used to be in the camp of finding the best anti virus, but not anymore. I wouldn't be too concerned in all honesty

@C1: I agree; however, my free default antivirus (McAfee) has expired and I need to buy to renew. @E1: Free or paid?

Thanks!

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

With such increase I do not think it will be viable for long term. So planning to switch/port.

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
