Default anti virus software

Keep on running them. I cannot educate ALL the users. Of all my friends and
relatives (and there are many) not one of us has ever gotten a virus save one.
My brother bought a new system and did not turn on the firewall when he went
to register with Microsoft, and he got the Blaster virus. Deleted it, and he
still does not use an AV program. You can bet the firewall is turned on now
however.

You.ve got to be STUPID to use an AV program. They only causes problems.

Due
to the fear you apparently already have you won't try running your system
without an AV program. Since that is the case why put the fear in others?


Try looking at these - the great unwashed ARE stupid and need protecting
from themselves. Perhaps you are one?

Especially this one:

Until you can educate ALL users not to blindly click on any attachment that
comes in their email then I myself will certainly run an AV prog, and mine
causes me NO trouble whatsoever.
