I just checked, as of Norton AV 9.0, it at least is finally checking for PC viruses in the Mac version. If they are doing it, I'd guess the others are by now as well. So at least in theory, you are protected from accidentally passing on an infected file. Now if that was on a probability in reality, then it might be more worth it. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
