Re: Viruses

I have been receiving A LOT of virus-infected emails from people on this mailing list lately. You owe it to yourselves to be running some kind of virus protection software. I recommend McAfee but there are others a well. It is unfortunate that there are people in this world that get pleasure from writing malicious software but they are here to stay and we need to protect ourselves. It is much more costly NOT to have virus protection than it is to shell out the $50 bucks or so to purchase it.

I am on about 15 lists and get all manner of virus's, worm's and such.
If you don't have an anti virus scanner and don't have money for one then a good free scanner is available here http://www.grisoft.com/. AVG is free to individuals and has free updates as well. I've used it with good success for some time and it has worked as well as McAfee and Norton.

You can also help to reduce the risk of spreading virus's by sending all your email in text format. This email was originally in html format and so could have had a virus embedded within it rather than as an attachment.
