virus prevention
Hello all,
Just wanted to pass on something that
I've heard from a few different techie-types now.
They say that
most viruses (is that how you spell it?!) are geared toward Microsoft
& affecting as many users as possible. Therefore, you can avoid
being affected by a lot of the viruses if you use an email program
other than Microsoft Outlook or the other common one is Netscape
Messenger. Other options would be Eudora (what I use), Opera, or
web-based email programs like Yahoo or Hotmail.
I think you can be
infected by a virus on any email program if you open an attachment,
but for something like Bugbear that didn't have an attachment not
using Outlook was what saved me.
I don't know much about computers,
so I may have completely misunderstood. Does anyone know anything
about this? For you guys that have become infected w/ a virus, what
email program do you use?
FYI, I think Eudora & Opera are
available for free on the net. Just doo a Google
search.
Cheers, Jen
