Answer
Dear Andy,

We had a hardware problem requiring replacement, so I sincerely apologize not getting back to you sooner. Hopefully, you won't hold the delay against us.

The best money can buy? That's a matter of opinion. I do my best to put the best on our site Enrgy21.com, but having just one shouldn't be your only defense. Your best defense will be more than one.

Super Antispyware, and Lavasoft Adware; a-squared Anti-Malware and Lavasoft, plus Spybot Search and Destroy free (a donation is welcome)
are all good combinations. However, Webroot and several others are also excellent.

I would check Gizmo's Techsupportalert.com (a link in the 4th column
on Enrgy21.com/sitetools)
