+1. Wish I had mod points for you. A business needs to ensure people can WORK and make money, not confirm to unrealistic ideals. Yes, sometimes you can make it work and I'm sure someone will cite a few cases but for the majority of people the turnkey is the best solution.

I assume your on Windows and that MSE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Security_Essentials) is available. Seems to work fine for most and MS seems to have not made it a huge resource hog.

The source link doesn't work. It goes to a dead link and appears to be the mobile site. Please correct.

I first thought of "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?" Someone with a lot of money and free time could really mess with Nestle, although I doubt they would really try too hard to track you down....
