With OS 9.1, I would not bother unless you receive Microsoft Word documents from PC users. You could receive viruses that hurt if those users generate their documents using Macros. In that case, you need protection. Theoretically, receiving e-mail can pose a virus threat, but I have not used any virus protection for at least three years. Surfing the net (web pages) does not bring you viruses. -- Al Poulin Anger, hate, and revenge are for the devil, forgiveness is for God, proactive self-defense is for the rest of us. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
