Jeff,
So true. With new virus's all the time it is hard for them to keep up. It would be
easy if the
only new virus came out in a now and again fashion. With new ones each day it is not
an easy task.
Like I have always said, if these people where writting software that was for good,
think of the wonderful
and fulfilling software and O/S we could have... Whoops... sorry thought got a way
from me..<G>
