I havent seen that it seems in years John Rutz Not only is it still around, it's still available. I saw a link to a site just the other day where it was available for free download. Sorry, I don't recall what it was but I'm sure Google can find it. There is also an emulator for Commodore's OS that runs inside Linux. I wouldn't doubt that there's one for OS/2 also. Cybe R.

Hey GrannyEast ;) You got it right on Norton! I keep the Anti-Virus Updated. It's Automatically updated ... they let me know via a right hand corner pop-up. This step is as crucial as scanning the system on a daily basis. I have a 4 or 5 year old system. I keep it cleaned - often. GrannyWest http://community.webshots.com/user/nedra118 "SNIP FOR BREVITY I am still running Win98 and it isn't affected by this worm. I have had good luck with "EZ Antivirus" as a small footprint program from Computer Associates International. It doesn't interfer with any other programs and runs in the background. It updates in only about 2 minutes and I have never been infected. I use "Tiny Personal Firewall" from Tiny Software. Again it has a small impact and really does well blocking ports before any thing gets through. I used ZoneAlarm and BlackIce in the past but this seems to work better. In fact I installed it in Oct 2001 and it has never needed updating or given problems. Another program I use is called "Finjan SurfinGuard" from http://www.finjan.com/ This program is an anti-virus but it detects when something trys to run or trys to change a setting on the sly, then stops it and lets you know. If you get the "worm" it would block it from being able to run on your system. I think it said that it sort of boxes in whatever it is and watches it without letting it get to your main system. I really like it. And finally i use a neat utility called WinPatrol. I copied this from their website " WinPatrol with Scotty the Windows Watch Dog will sniff out Worms, Adware, Spyware, Cookies, Trojan horses and other malicious, nasty programs that may attack your computer without a need for constant updates. One Aug 11th, WinPatrol was detecting and removing the MS Blaster worm while other software companies scrambled to create new definition files. " Both Finjan, Tiny personal firewall and Winpatrol are freeware. The antivirus was $19.95 with free updates. All four of these run in the System Tray and use very, very little resources. rhino See my pond www.htcomp.net/rhino_4_good/index.htm "Without the second ammendment, the others are just suggestions." |
