Thanks, Theresa. I don't need it but will file for future reference. The
nice thing about having an older computer is that these idiots don't bother
attacking older operating systems usually. All of the latest scares were
directed at Windows 2000, NT, or XP users. There are no patches, and no
need for patches, for those of us still on Windows 98. Someday I will need
a new computer and I think I might request an old OS be installed!

Hi all-

I wanted to share my new knowledge with you. My husband's home computer
got
a virus yesterday, so he downloaded the home version of an
anti-virus/anti-spam/firewall/etc. software (the same company as the
corporate version that they use at work). Anyway... I'm so pleased with
it,
I thought I'd share the name- since it appears to be must faster and
easier 
and less intrusive than the two big companies that I hate (Norton and
McAfee).

The software is PC-cillin Internet Security 2004 from www.trendmicro.com.
Cleaned up the trojan off is computer in no time : ). They do have a 30
day
trial download if you want.


Theresa

P.S. I have no affiliation with the company- just a happy and relieved
customer!
