Re: Question for Nick Skrepetos



Leythos, thanks for the info... I'll have to check out MS' recommendations
for security settings, and then, as you say, could remove Google. But since
it's free, I'm not sure if I want to bother, unless you have advice that
running it may be bad for some reason, or if Google decides to start
charging for it's use.
