Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

For Windows that Keepass tommyrot linked to looks pretty good.

They also have unofficial builds for OS X and Linux.

eta: I think I'll try out the OS X version when I get home (if I remember).

Y'all rock! I should have asked sooner. I'm trying the mac version of KeePass. The Keychain Access thingy that is part of the mac doesn't seem to do webistes. But with the KeePass, I can put it on my jump drive, and have work & home passwords in one spot. And since I do work stuff at home, and when working 80 hours at a time, home stuff at work, it seems to make the most sense. It looks like there is an iPhone version in the works. That would rock, as I always have that on me. However, then I can't copy/paste from KeePass into the website or server. We shall see.

Thanks again!

Does anyone have recommendations for antivirus, spyware and/or firewall programs? I've been using TrendMicro, which is certainly better than Norton, but which still runs a ginormous program in the background. My subscription renewal is coming up and right now I'm also irritated at it because it won't let graphics card software load an upgrade and a piece of TrendMicro just hung up but the program wouldn't let me end the process because I was viewed as a threat for wanting to shut it down. It was a little too close to Hal for my taste.

I use Windows Defender and do an occasional scan with Malware Bytes. It's a pretty low overhead and low cost combination.

Heh. They better watch out in case Malware® sues them....

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I switched from McAfee to AVG Free last year and have never looked back.

I hate McAfee - when it's running my work computer is not very usable. It runs on bootup, and I pretty much have to wait until it's done every morning.

We're getting new work computers with a different antivirus program soon - can't wait....

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I just switched to Avast because I'd heard bad things about the latest version of AVG.

We hired consultants to help us buy and set up our computers. They say that the antivirus software they recommend changes every month or so, as things change so fast in that industry (both on the virus side and antivirus side).

I forget what they're recommending at the moment.
