as i said "if you know what you are doing". if you click and open random attachments, click on ever link that is sent to you through an instant messenger (quite easy to tell which links are ones from infected friends, had one the other day. friend sent me a link out of the blue, i responded back "this is most likely a virus", mins later, yup, it was, they were trying to clean up), then SURE, you need to run antivirus all the time.
"if you know what you are doing" you dont. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Hernandez, Magdalena Sent: Tuesday, October 12, 2004 10:11 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: Norton I know this is not a preach forum, but not running anti-virus of any form is very short-sided. Viruses come in all forms today. You can get viruses from websites (that automatically download things), instant messaging, and email. You do not have to run Norton. There are many kinds of anti-virus programs out there.
