:o LOL

Anti-virus is essential, amazing how emails/spam get through containing viruses sometimes.

Was researching for Jesse Martins 'Journey of Kijana'. Someone infected their system which played havoc.

I kept getting infected emails sent from different Kijana people's email addresses e.g. from Jesse when he was out at sea 'New game I created', so out of character and well I think he had better things to be doing.

Norton's was great, it quarantined them all so I didn't get infected, but Kijana had to get experts in (have no idea what anti-virus program they had or didn't have:o)

I got an optical. Never go back again.

We have never an antivirus program on our computer since the last one we had didn't work when we wanted it to and was a pain in the ass everyother time. Had to format the computer to get rid of it.

We only open emails were expecting and block all other addresses not in our address book. If I open other mail it usually at the Uni where they can deal wih the nasties that pop out.
