Chris replies:
I know you just put this item here because of the Iris name connection,
Larry. I don't know about the rest of you but I REALLY hate it when
companies resort to scare tactics to sell software. Especially when you
can get really excellent anti virus software that works better for free!
Example is Norton Internet Anti-virus software made available by
Netscape within their also free Metscape PowerPack. All you gotta do is
go to the Netscape home page and then go to software downloads. Take
your pick from there.
Enough free advice for today. Please, each of you send me $9.95 for
further advice. Visa accepted, don't forget the expiry date. ;-)
E-mail me for address of Swiss bank account. Chris.
