-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Dave,
@15 July 2002, 16:00 +0100 Dave Conroy [DC] in [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said: PK>> Currently I am using "eTrust EZ antivirus program" DC> ... including Norton AV, and have been very happy with it. We now DC> run it on each machine on our network. I can't stand idle and see someone promote Norton AV products when I have been so badly bitten by them. As a developer of software, to have all of my users flood my Inbox with complaints because a shoddy NAV database update wrongly identified my uninstall.exe as "infected". Then, without a by-your-leave or any option, it incinerated the "offending" program on every machine. Not that I want any customers uninstalling my software <g>, but that's hardly what I would call a "professional" approach. This in a "Friday evening, release update, switch phones off, go home for weekend" style! It wasn't until the following Monday that they even began to correct their database, the corrective update for which came out on the Wednesday. The manufacturers of the affected Installer released a patch for the uninstaller on the Sunday, but the damage to reputations, systems and installations had already been done. To be "good", an AV utility has to be trustworthy. That stunt and the subsequent cover-up and disowning of any kind of responsibility from Norton leads me to give their offering a thundering thumbs down in that department whenever it is mentioned in my field of vision. I use AVG from Grisoft myself and have always been very satisfied with it. DC> I can't be bothered with all that TB! plug in stuff, though others DC> on the list seem to be keen. That's because it's worth the "bother". It's actually no bother at all and keeps things much safer. When attachments are kept in message bodies and not in a separate folder, the plug-in quarantines the infecting message without it ever being realised on the recipient's system. It never becomes executable. I like that! - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D.
