Hi Joe,

What security do you recommend for TWC? Is it free? Thanks,

A. I use Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7, you must download this. and its first cousin Windows Defender which comes installed in Windows 8.

I do not use what insight recommended, it slowed the computer down and I think TWC offering might do the same and all of the these are free.

Anyway the two I mentioned are great and will take care of emails, internet, and anything else. I’ve had no problem with them and have heard of no classmate having a problem.

----------------------------------------

Q. I am trying to find how to make my internet page blank like you do yours? Thanks,

A. Click on the Start button, type Internet options in the blank and hit Enter, you get this screen.

Response: Got it! This is so much better! Thanks,

Hi Joe

Thanks for your help with my E-Mail Address at twc.com.

I called the 1-877-772 2253 to get help. They tried for 3 days and part of the 4 day and failed to get it to work.

I called the local number 514-1400 for help. The tech said it was easy and he walked me through it in about 5 minutes.

Thanks Joe
