Re: Re: Virus, Attn: Patricia Brooks

To all

I have emailed the Lobergs. Hopefully they will take care of the
problem.  I am beginning to consider whether a virus scanner is a
prerequisite to being on the list. The problem with that is that the new
viruses move so fast, your software, even if you have it, might not be
updated soon enough.

I recommend you all set your virus scanners to update *every* time you
log on to the internet.

As to the effectiveness of various anti virus programs, I will always
take a paid for program over a freebie because the paid for company has
a reason to stay ontop of things (generating additional revenue). Norton
Anti Virus (NAV by Symantec) and McAfee update their descriptions daily
(as appropriate). They have been in business for many years.
