> I do treat the internet with caution. I download as least as possible.
But still there can be a virus in that little you download ?
It does not even have to be that you download something. A virus
can be send to you by e-mail by someone who does not even know
he is sending it !

I have never had a false alarm (i use AVP) Only thing that sometimes
happens is that joke mails are seen as virusses. That i even agree
with. (we are talking now about joke mails that make your screen

Jim posted the navidad virus to this list. Lots of people would be
in trouble now !
> I have never been hit with one in 10 years.
You should play the casino as lucke as you are. But, i think

Question, you back up every day ? If not, you will atleast
loose a day's work !
