You could save yourself a whooooole lot of money, flush McAfee, AVG, and whatever whatchamacallits that make $ from Microsoft's egregious incompetence, down the toilet if you would get rid of at least Outhouse, at best the whole Windows thang. The only *reason* people who run Linux even *use* anti-virus software (which is free BTW), for the most part, is to be nice and not allow viruses to spread to people who are unlucky enough to use Windows. Once in awhile, tho, as with any system, some slip through, and it looks like someone on here is infected, but it is certainly not anyone running Linux. -- HaywireMac Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: nodex.sytes.net ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The longest part of the journey is said to be the passing of the gate. -- Marcus Terentius Varro
