The very strangest thing I've seen smart, intelligent people do is to install the 2nd best or worse ranked antivirus software into their computers -- then feel safe that they're protected. People - wake up! Read http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/products.xml and many other virus scanner test sites online. --- If you simply look at the recent 2004 year results of AVG, you will see right away that it has failed once (they test 4 times a year). Right away, you're using a virus scanner that has a tested 25% failure rate, or only a 75% protection rate (based on test results). It is like saying, I'll take that crappy EBOLA vaccination (there isn't any, forget it if you get it), and I'll take my chances when I catch it. Hello? Wouldn't you want to know that you've taken the best vaccination on the planet? Wouldn't you want to know that each and every virus is caught on your system? Please look at the other products for better virus protection -- here, Symantec AntiVirus is my choice because it runs well, has great reviews (commerically and user), does the job, and has passed each and every test since 2000. (Yes, the older 5.0 version failed in 1999, but let us assume that five years of solid pass rates since then means they've got their stuff together nowadays - products to improve over time, so older results should carry less weight.) You can examine the other product results and come to your own conclusions, but I would bet on Symantec Antivirus as the one that works. --- ===== adorable toshiba libretto The latest news and information for the Toshiba Libretto owner. http://www.silverace.com/libretto/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
