<DIV><FONT size=2>> I have QuickViewPlus also and I think that Ton offers it
on his web site for<BR>> free. It sounds sort of "iffy" to me.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I do not offer software commercialy on the home-page, if that
is what you</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>were referering</FONT><FONT size=2> to. At most I will
provide info on software, i.e. for download</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>purposes (for other MS List-ers) and for home-educational
use and/or if these</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>programs are OK-ed by their originators for others to
download, eg </FONT><FONT size=2>freeware</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>etc.), i.e. little nifty programs only, the programs that
I have found </FONT><FONT size=2>to be of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>great help and real beneficial to (my daily) computer usage,
eg programs</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>in combination with Win95, Internet and MetaStock or
other data exchange</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>usages. Otherwise, a link is provided to where one can find
info on and also</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>can also download the software.<BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The QVP-program indeed provides me with the best AV-protection
(and</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>without gluttering the entire disk with av-files (Norton,
Inacculate-It) or giving</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>false alarms (McAfee) when Windows' SetUp decided to change
its</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>driver-library, eg the total info found in the inf-files that
are installed on disk</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>and used for "craeting a new Windows-driver Library" when
installing any</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>New Hardware or when New Hardware is/was found (on start-up or
changing</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>drivers in Properties or Control Panel etc.).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The QVP-program will VIEW the files only (read only). Try the
Qv-program</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>that standard ships with Win95 (Microsoft licensed the
basic version), eg</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>the quick-view program(right-click any file, if it is not in
the contextmenu, then</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>install via Star|Control Panel|Software|Accessories and have

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Clicking an attachement in a mail-program is the last

<DIV><FONT size=2>(have to do).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Basicaly, saving an attachement to the Desktop
(c:\windows\desktop -folder)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>is sufficient enough to enable me (click the IE's Desktop-link
on TaskBar)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>to then right click the saved attachement-file and to click
Quick View Plus</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(start file with QVP-program) and the
attachement-file will be viewable</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>(external).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Using Excel(internal) AND NotePad(internal) to view files too,
then gives</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>me the "total" overall-view (if/when required).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>As QVP will only Open and not Edit the attachement, none of
the standard</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Naturaly, I will have to make sure that I MUST always

<P>
<H2>What are computer viruses?</H2>
<P>Somewhat like their biological counterparts, computer viruses are collections
of code that sometimes attach themselves to a "host" (such as a program file).
<P>By definition, viruses are self-replicating - which means that once you open
a virus-infected document, the documents you go on to create will be infected,
too. For example, if you open an infected word-processing document, then
documents you create with your word processor will also be infected with that
very virus.
<P>Some viruses are relatively harmless or merely annoying, while others can
cause serious problems with your data or machine. Among the most common today
are "macro" viruses, written in an application's macro language.
<P>
<H2>Macro Viruses</H2>Macro languages are powerful tools for customizing
applications, and many individuals and organizations use macros to automate
their work and develop custom solutions. However, when misused, an application's
macro language can lead to the generation of macro viruses. All computer users
therefore should be aware of the risk of macro viruses, as well as the
precautions presently available to prevent their transmittal.
<P>
<H2>Microsoft's Anti-Virus Commitment</H2>Microsoft understands that macro
viruses are a concern for our customers and we want to do everything we can to
make sure that tools exist to detect and eliminate these viruses. We are
collaborating closely with the International Computer Security Association
(ICSA) and the anti-virus community to understand how we can better work
together to combat macro viruses. The goal is to establish more formal and
consistent partnerships with these vendors to ensure that they have the
information they need to create up-to-date anti-macro virus tools.

Guy,
I think NAV's Auto-Protect feature has to be enabled. I have been leaving
it enabled and don't see much performance degradation even though my
machine is relatively slow.
Best,
Barry
