Steer clear of Norton then, it's even worse. > For your antivirus- get avast (also called AVG), No. Avast is Avast (www.avast.com) AVG is AVG (free.grisoft.com) You don't need to register for AVG. I use it with reasonable success on several windows machines, and clamav with sanesecurities sigs on the email gateway (with sa-exim, exim4, procmail, spamasassin and fuzzyocr) which keeps out pretty much all non user-requested viruses and the majority of the spam (including the pdf stuff). Switching your Win users away from Outlook and IE onto Thunderbird and Firefox *significantly* reduces the chances of infection too. IME they really don't notice anyway. -- Simon Avery -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
