Bum or merde or sugar [Crusty swearing]

. . . and you are so careful . . .
:-(

virus checkers:

stinger is Joyces fav
AVG is everyones fav
Avast has a bootiful interface
and Antivir has a useful bunch of info on viruses

(all these are free and updated)

However sad to say rogue web sites
are now downloading stuff (viruses)
in the 'background'
Hi Crusty one..can you say anything more about these? Any defences? I'm getting at least three or four virus mails per day. Does Stinger do something that Norton doesn't?
Cheers...Sam


This is set to increase according to experts . . .

The time of the embedded Operating system may be
near
(that is an OS on a PCI card - in BIOS - on USB stick
on CD etc)

Motherboards (mostly) are now complete
but they have no OS . . .

Windows incidentally is not really
an OS (operating System) it is a virus honey trap


free OS
