I have a suspicious nature which has proved to be as good as 100% security. From my first IBM PC with its 16KB system board to this day I have never had a virus, spyware, or malware of any kind on any machine I have ever owned. In fact, the only time I ever used a computer that became infected was while I was working at Microsoft in the 90s as a technical writer. An early build of Windows NT became infected with a virus twice via one of the corporate servers. Curiously, some of the servers weren't particularly well protected. On Windows XP Prof. I use Counterspy anti-spyware and Kaspersky Internet Security. Kaspersky goes well beyond just signature checking with strong heuristics and proactive defense. I reject attachments in email and am cautious about what little I might choose to click on. That's as close to 100% as anyone is ever going to get. -- Cary Enoch Reinstein... aka enochsvision, Enoch's Vision Inc.
