SBCGlobal (AT&T Yahoo!) —

For years I plugged along with dial-up, simply because I thought DSL would be too expensive. (DUH!) OK...I kicked myself in the butt. I will NEVER go back to dial-up. I'll do without the Internet before I go back to dial-up.

What I really like, as of about a year or so ago, AT&T Yahoo dropped their old anti-virus program from Computer Associates, and went with Norton. (Symantec) This is a MUCH BETTER program! And it's FREE!

AT&T Yahoo also has a good to excellent "Help" section. I'd rather use Outlook Express for Email and it shows you how to set it up correctly. There are many other helpful topics listed. Just take your time & browse around. I know it's frustrating having a problem, but many times you can fix it yourself.

Bottom line...if it's available in your area; get it. It's much faster than dial-up, and in many cases cheaper too. And my old dial-up did not include FREE Norton anti-virus soft-ware.

Footnote: AT&T Yahoo! has cancelled virus protection from Norton and now gone with McAfee. Just as good so far...

AT&T Yahoo NOW offers McAfee. They used to offer Norton Anti-Virus & Firewall for FREE! Yahoo, not AT&T, is the one offering the Norton 360 trial period. I agree, McAfee is just as good. BUT, at the time I wrote this, AT&T offered Norton for FREE. Before that it was Computer Associates...terrible. So...research your facts first. See (outdated) link below...

Norton 360 is only free for a short period of time & then YOU pay! Download the AT&T McAfee antivirus it's free, completely, to all AT&T customers and JUST AS GOOD!
