    Another subject that will most likely attract Katie again, because she likes to think about that kind of stuff .

    But this thread is not about that .


    I was just wondering, what virus scanners do you guys use?

    I use Protector Plus becuase it's easy to use, fast, and I like it.

    None.

    I have never used any anti-virus software. I do not accept diskettes or downloads from unknown sources. I do not use any automatic eMail software. I do not open MS Word documents from unknown sources. I generally avoid any software which does automatic filing, et cetera.

    It is similar to the policies I used for the other form of protection.

    So far, I have not had any virus trouble, computer or otherwise.

    i use avg, it is the best one that i have found so far.

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.
