I have no sympathy for people who get a virus anymore. It takes so little
time to keep your products updated. Most virus' are written to affect the
Outlook Express email program - you can avoid a virus all together by using
a different program like Eudora or Netscape (or if you have CompuServe or
(gasp) aol the virus won't affect you if you open the email). Also you can
set your settings to not run scripts and, most importantly, update your
s/ware all the time. Most, not all, virus' are written to effect loop holes

I, personally, use EZ Trust Anti-Virus (I think www.etrust.com is the
website). Free updates, I think I pay like 10-20 bucks per year to keep the
license up to date - the program kicks @ss.
