I appreciate everyones' and I do mean everyones' input on the security
thing. I now definitely have a better understanding of it. Completely
different than windows as it always has been and I'm very happy to find
out it is the way it is. My wife does have AVG and some other programs
to protect her. And unfortunately she has to defragment her hard drive
once a week or so. She'd go on to Suse herself, but as she is a 56 year
old student going for her Phd, she feels hesitant about movine over to
Suse and Open Office. The school she goes to require Microsoft Word
formatting. I assume Open Office can be formatted the same way.

Thanks again, everyone for your assistance on this security question! 

John
