I used to use Windows with McAfee and McAfee just locked everything down and made web browsing maddening.  I now use a Mac with OSX.  The past 10 years have been great since pretty much nobody writes spyware/viruses for the Mac.  Linux is a good option as well.  A MacBook Pro is around $1300 and a Windows laptop can be had for $300.  From what I have personally experienced a MacBook will last 5-8 before an upgrade is needed.  Your Windows laptop has a life of about 3 years.  Linux is another beast all together.  You should be a little more computer savy to us it.  But when you have been using since the days of SCO Unix it is not that hard.

That may have been true when you started, but today anyone can run Browser Linux with no prior experience at all. If you can click on Firefox and brows the net, you are good to go. In fact you can try it out without even installing it from a CD or USB stick.

If you just want to mainly use Firefox to get online, try Browser Linux.

I use McAfee for my internet security when I try to click on most of the video's I get a big red Warning message that it is a Dangerous site!
Has anyone else had this that uses McAfee? How can I fix this?

I have Norton and have been a member for 3 months. In these 3 months I was blocked by Norton 2 times stating that the site I wanted to view is dangerous. So then I just passed on watching that video. Has not happened to me lately. Hope you can get it fixed if it is happening too often.

Yes I have been having the same problems. I have actually found things that came through when I ignored the warning and allowed it anyways. More from other sites than this one, but I'm still cautious.
