[newbie] Viruses..........

[Eric S. Dye]

Title: Message

Dear List,   I received two viruses (both sobig) from the newbie list......from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]. I would suggest getting a good antivirus program. I am using a combination of Norton, Trend Micro, AVG and Benign. AVG can be gotten for free, though I use the registered version. Benign is a wonderful program that just came out that neutralizes any suspicious mail. It can be secured from www.firetrust.com. There is a 15 day trial on it and then you have to buy the program. McAfee has a good program. I am using XP at the moment, but also have Lindows installed. I have the Mandrake 9.0 as well, but it is not installed at the moment. Having gotten a number of viruses from the Newbie list, I am surprised because I thought Linux was pretty much impervious to viruses. I don't know which of the above programs can be used with Linux.   Eric S. Dye, [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus (http://www.grisoft.com).
