You know, I'm just waiting for the day to arrive where a person who doesn't have adequate av software installed is comitting a criminal offence.

I shake my head in wonder.

And by the by; it all very good and well to have great av software, but it's virtually rendered USELESS unless it's kept maintained... ie UPDATE IT!!!
To update your av software 2 or 3 times a week will never do any harm.

And gee, if all else fails, DONT OPEN ATTACHMENTS UNLESS YOU ARE SPECIFICALLY EXPECTING THEM!!!!
At the end of the day, is the joke that was sent to you, really worth it that much?
And hey, if you ARE expecting emails with attachments from a regular source, and on a regular basis, then hey, ASK that source if they adequately protected.

Seems like a bit of stuffing around, but I can tell you, after 4 years of owning this particular laptop, equipped only with ZoneAlarm & Norton as firewall and anti-virus, I've not once been infected by any form of virus.


It's high time that individual users started to take responsability for their machines.


No offence intended to anyone here, it's merely me making a statement
