I know a silly little man that has a thriving business and uses online banking for both home and business with no firewall or anti-virus ... I think he's mad!

Yes is very true , ive got aol platinum and is £30.00 a month and is not worth it really. However the connection is really fast and becuase the aol is so much i do get the security free. However i think where going to change to a better price plan. Weve got sky and are looking at that sky broadband but i dont know how good it is. Anyone got any other suggestions for any good internet services? (Just Changing The Topic A Bit Hehe)
