Be Careful When Downloading

Please be careful when downloading any software from the internet.  

  • Watch for “freebies”  that are sometimes included as you download and install.  
  • Uncheck any boxes if you are unsure.  

Being aware of what you are clicking on reduces possible malware and viruses.

While not all “freebies” are malware, in this case the extra software is a second anti-virus program which you don’t need.  Kaspersky takes care of viruses on your computer and installing a second anti-virus program will not help.
