OT: Anyone have any spare hard drives?

2007-07-19 Thread Neil Joseph Schelly
I'm looking for a 30-60GB hard drive to replace a failed drive in a Win98 box. Since Win98 doesn't like 64+GB drives and stores don't really stock too many smaller ones these days, I'm looking for a drive in good shape that I can buy from someone who may have a pile of them. Anyone? -N

I use Clamwin (in Windows) - there have been issues with slowness in the Outlook plugin, I hear they're fixed now but I avoid Outlook so I'm no longer sure. I have no idea if it's as good, better, or worse than the commercial scanners, but I know it's better than nothing and that the commercial

Another vote for clamav, here. Use it on all the mail servers I run. I've never used it on a desktop machine, but have manually scanned stuff with it. As mentioned earlier, there is a Windows version, too, called ClamWin. It would also be useful to know how you intend to use it, because there
