Hello Dean. When I am true to myself, I used the Norton program as it was on a mag CD early 2000. As you have to pay for updates I never didi it. I must declare, that we are working as self employees and money is dependent of mass of job and if you would be paid or not (yes, this is a sad truth).
However, I secured myself from outside attacks with "Zonealarm", as I am very often in the net. But this doesn´t make sure, that email-attachments could bring you a "worm". I will be more careful in the future. I got a lot of mails daily, and I sort all out which are dubious (no text in it, only attachment, not known sender). But some sends also worms and didn´t know it. This is the nasty thing about worms. If you want the free anti virus program, then take a look at "www.antivir.de". Go to section download and choose for Windows 9.x or ME or Windows NT. But the program has more than 4 MB. However, the download is cheaper than other programs (I work with TDSL). Thank you for your lines and take care yourself (the methods becomes finer and finer) I hate this all. But I cannot do HTML or real DTP for printing factories on my SAM (sniff, sniff), otherwise I would do, free from hacker attacks. Long live SAM.
