And when was the last time you updated your virus definition files ??, the hybris virus is not far off a year old You will find that as long as you keep your definitions upto date NAV will provide excelent protection for your system but the best protection you can use is your own vigilance and common sence, after a virus executable has to be executed to affect your system, unfortunatly many mail readers lend themselves to running some code as soon as you open an email, tho nearly all virus files are attachemnt in the email that you must run manually, so its down to the person opening the emails to know and understand what they are opening But i must say, im all infavour of free software, unfortunatly this one isnt, i think you mean www.free-av.de But unfortunatly this one isnt 'Richard Stallman' Free :) -- Dean Liversidge [EMAIL PROTECTED]
