No antivirus software, no firewalls. Nothing.
And not a single problem for 2 years straight.
If he has that and doesn't run Outlook as an email client he's pretty safe.
Yeah, but not running antivirus software....*shiver* I have a router and
a software firewall, Norton Antivirus, and I switched to Mozilla Firefox
as my main browser. I run Outlook but the minute a virus is discovered,
I update Norton.
If you like firefox, try thunderbird. It's a great mailclient with a good spamfilter, and it's all i've been using for about a year now.
I haven't had a virus since -99 (CIH thingy, went to a lan-party, everyone had it). I manage fine without antivirus software, norton just slows the system down.
