Re: [cwe-lug] Windows, FLOSS Anti-Virus/Anti-spyware

JT. Your presentation was great. There were 11 additional copies of the CD 
requested which I can copy, and several members asked where I was getting 
the great programs. I said the Linux Community, of course. Looking for your

I just told the North County older residents to start using ClamWin.
Ask Tony in a few months how it's going.
