Re: VIRUS ALERT!!

["Marc Peterson" <mpeters6@rochester.rr.com>]

Really, guys..come on.  For a bunch of fairly technically savvy people,
you'all complain a bunch about something that's not that big of a deal.  If
your are Windows users, it is your responsibility to the online community to
get Norton Antivirus.  Set it up to scan every mail message as it is
downloaded and delete anything that is infected.  No biggie.  Norton can
even be set up to automatically update its executables and virus definitions
without any user intervention.  Perfectly brain-dead simple.  Keeps your
computer clean, avoids the embarressing (<-sp?)flood of email that begin
with "Hey dumbass..."

Viruses (viri?) are here to stay.  Get used to this.

I don't buy software if I can help it, but for damn sure the one program I
always have the latest version of is NAV.
