I do treat the internet with caution. I download as least as possible.
I use netscape, I trust no one, Also I think that people who use
a virus setup has a lot of false alarms and gets exited for nothing.
virus software is not perfect lots of false alarms.
I have never been hit with one in 10 years.
Don't get me wrong I do check every couple of weeks
I know it would be too late. But hey what's the backup drive for.
Don't worry you won't get aids from me. I use an on line
scanner with up to date files, just checked two days ago
May the trend be your friend at least for a day or so : Jo ...
