I got that in my mail box today!! I didn't open it just had a feeling it was strange, cause the senders name was HaHaHa. And I don't have any virus software on my puter either! I think it's time to put some on..

sounds like a good plan.

I use "Trend-Micro" because it's integrated into another produc that I use. It works pretty good for me, and asl long as they keep providing timely updates ( and sucking up to the people who make System Suite) I'll probably stay with that for now

Been using Norton AV 2000 on my machine at work for a while - been quite happy with it. Only heard of one horror story so far...

It's funny that anytime you say that you run Norton some one usually says Mcafee is better. And vice versa.

What one do you think is better?

They are both godd anti-viris programs. Last I knew the major difference was that Norton gives you 1 yr free updates and Mcaffee gives 3 months free updates

A friend of mine, LiveWire (he's on our SETI Team) used the Auto-Update feature. It said it wanted wanted to update the scan engine on hiw Win2K machine. He said Okey Dokey - rebooted - and ended up with a blue screen of death the next time up. He tried to restore his system with the Win2K recovery options, safe mode ect. but nothing would fix it. He had to reload his system.[B)]
