Maybe we all agree that viruses do not come in from reliable providers but come in via e-mail. So why not use Arachne-DOS for e-mail and Win98 for serious web access? I practice this -UNPROTECTED- for 3 years now and never had any problem. My co-editor at the magazine does not use DOS for e-mail and uses a fire wall... 2 computers and only one at the telephone lines. He is struggeling every day to keep the installation clean... always looking for the latest anti-virus software and updates. This is becomming an obsession logging in 3 times a day at those anti-virus pages. To add: I do not use web based e-mail and have a back-up computer ready.. just in case. Never had to use that second computer, though. No fear, no fuzz... and you know my income depends on that magazine. Thanks Michael for develloping Arachne!
