With that, I will pose 3 questions to the forum.
1. Should I install an anti-virus program?

Of course you should, especially if the workstation shares time with
internet access and/or email. But remember, it is a safety cushion, not a

The choice of vendors would be yours.

Jami,
if I were you I would install the antivirus software with a couple

Same here.
I refuse to rely on unreliable protection. I prefer to work without a net in this
situation, because I won't be lulled into any false security.
Zero virus infections in almost 20 years online.

I support Ivan's position. I use a well tuned firewall program and no AV
software, for all the same reasons he mentioned. Just use a great deal of
care in how you use your computer these days and don't count on AV software

OK guys and gals, by now many of you have received the announcement of
Altiums new product:
nVisage, which can be seen at: http://www.nvisage.com/
They call it nVisage DXP, and at first glance it appears to be a schematic
capture package and simulator to front-end Altiums other products.

It appears that the nVisage launch announcement may have caused some
confusion.
nVisgage is a subset of Protel DXP so all DXP users will receive any new

service pack of Protel DXP.

nVisage is WAY MORE than a schematic package - I don't remember SDT having
a Spice simulator?

I sort of have the same trouble with very odd behavior in P99SE and xp. Our
office recently had a couple of Dell comps with logitech wheel mice arrive and
have caused heaps of trouble.
Some of the things happening in protel:

It happens even if I double click the executable.
