What's New at SWCA

	I haven't had a chance to try it yet but I've read good reviews from some respected people on techie mailing lists that the Microsoft Family Safety integrates into Windows user accounts for content filtering of web sites. Links to it have been added to the Internet Filtering and Parental Control section of the Everyday Software FAQ as well as to the Setup User Account section of the PC Setup FAQ.
	Schmahl World is now a reseller of Avast products! Visit the contact page for ways to get in touch for questions about Avast products and licensing.
	Alwil Software has released Version 5 of their Avast anti-virus software. Since the Avast Boot-Scan FAQ is far and away the most popular FAQ on my site and referenced by several AV forums (including Avast's) I had to get an update online. Knowing many still are using version 4.x until their licenses expire or a system refresh is made I did keep the old one online. A link to it is on the Version 5 Boot-Scan FAQ.
	I received an e-mail from a site that offers code to put a nice Internet speed test on my Speed Tests page. After taking them up on their offer I realized some other links I had were dead or no longer worth recommending.
	While rewriting the Security FAQ I made reference to the Spyware FAQ in it. There were references to very old versions of software and several invalid links so it's had a fairly significant update.
	Rewrote the Security FAQ. The old one got out of date and lost its usefulness. Hopefully the revamp will be helpful.
