    I already have fungus in my yard. Doesn't do a thing for me, except grow toadstools in a ring.

    Welcome aboard!

    For tech questions around firewalls and AVs, start a new thread in the Software Forum. You will then get more replies of a technical nature, as this is simply a "welcome" forum.
