They ALSO offer a installable service that continually monitors your system like a real time antivirus program would. This can be used as often as you like for the low low cost of FREE. You only have to pay if you want their constant protection. And on a different note - what problem are you having formatting your HD for Ubuntu? I am sure I can help with that!

Here we go again. Google Earth can't connect. Yeah, it found problems, all related to internet explorer (no, I won't capitalize those). Exploring the GE issue I was told I had to make internet explorer my default browser. This is just microsoft trying to get you back under their umbrella. I cannot stand microsoft and if I could get my hard drive formatted properly I would be using Ubuntu right now. Same stuff, different day. 90 Day free trial? Here we go again.
