Thanks to Mom Central I received a trial version of Norton PC Tune-up Service. I was very excited to help test this service out, with as much as I use my computer. I got a card in the mail with the Norton Symantec phone number to call. Then I talked to an advisor, and he asked me for some information about me and my computer. Then, I told him I had a promotional code for the Norton PC Tune-up Service. After we got all set up, Jesse (my Norton Advisor) logged into my computer on a secure internet connection. He stayed on the phone with me the whole time, but if we happened to get disconnected, I did have a chat box available to ask any questions. I have to say, it was nice to see how he cleaned up my computer. If my computer is running slow because I'm running too many programs, or takes a long time to start, I can call (experts are available 24x7) and have it analyzed over the secure internet connection. They service covers a full scan to find issues affecting performance, protection and security and they will recommend steps to ensure performance. I was able to watch everything he did, and could stop the session at any time. Once I moved my mouse, just out of habit, and he couldn't move his. It was pretty funny actually. There was no danger in letting him take control.He checked a few locations to see what may be making my computer run slower. He checked my desktop, and cleaned up my start menu allowing only needed programs that are necessary start when the computer turns on. You would not believe how many programs start up in the back ground even though you are not running them!
After Jesse helped me clean-up my computer, he said I have a Norton Report Card center that I can go to and check up on my computer. Over all, it was a nice experience and I learned a lot about my computer. I think everyone can use a tune-up on their computer, especially if you are an avid blogger.

I have been really trying to clean up the computer this year and would love to win this -- as long as they work with Macs, that is ;).

MY LAPTOP NEEDS A TUNE-UP
Christina - xristya@rock.com - Sincerely, one thing I really appreciate about the online-world is being able to enter contests like this one, or sweepstakes - the smaller contests make me aware of products and people I would never otherwise encounter, and the larger sweepstakes are, of course, fun, and made easier by using Autofill!
Being able to send pics across country to family & friends in a matter of seconds is the greatest invention since the microwave oven!

I use Yahoo.com a lot for mail and news.
I love having so much info at my fingertips!!
Im also a subscriber!!

Being a SAHM I like the online world as it gives me a connection to the outside world. If I didn't have it I think I would go stir crazy.
I love being able to connect with people around the world with my same interests!
I appreciate that I can relocate old friends.

I love that I don't have to drive to my busy mall, try to find a place to park, wait in line with tons of other shoppers to pay during this holiday season. For the first time, I did all my Christmas shopping on-line while having a cup of tea. It was pure heaven. I just adore the internet!

I would hate to see the internet not be free anymore. Or restricted by government regulations.
I enjoy the ability to quickly send an email and the information available from anywhere in the world.
The online world is a universal reference set at my fingertips. I hear a word I don't know; I look it up. If there's a news bite I want to know more about, just log on. I can learn just about anything in minutes. Fantastic, really, when you think about it.
I subscribe.
I live very far from my family and my inlaws and it helps me keep in touch with all of them in an easy manner.
