When AVG seemed intent on taking over my computer, my only option was to remove it. Carbonite has added even more features to make online backup better. I'm finding that more than a few recording artists share my opinion of the Recording Industry Association of America; Janis Ian is one of them. In Short Circuits, Intel pays off AMD and beware phone spam that tries to foist a fraud upon you.
