RE: SBC-Yahoo Online Protection Suite

Sure, I have it installed on my home computer. And I disabled it. But wait, you say: why install it and then disable it? Not so simple, I reply.

a) I had to install the security suite, or SBC (now AT&T) would deny me access to my email, even though I have my own virus protection software. And therein lies the problem:

b) The SBC-Yahoo Online Security Suite assumed my personal virus protection software was invalid, and immediately tried to delete my license codes and/or uninstall my other virus protection software. I paid good money for Norton and the rest, and I don't care how good SBC thinks their package is, they don't have the right to decide "what's best" for me.

So, I keep the SBC package installed, which satisfies their requirement for me to "safely" access my email, but I also keep it disabled, so it doesn't mess with my other online protection.
Whew! What a mess, but it works for me.
