Hello all,

        This is my last post on this subject ...

        What I was saying was that " I " on " MY " home machine will not run
anti-virus software. It is one of the major benefits of run a
Unix/Unixlike OS .. I don't have to worry about it. I have had
headhunters and other people who use Windows send me lots of virus
through e-mail ..they didn't care about having anti-virus software and
up to date .dat files..good thing these things didn't and could not do
damage to my Linux/Solaris/freeBSD boxen. :)

        Remember as far as my comments they were made about my home box. I have
to use NT at work for now and GUESS what I have Norton and up to date AV
.dat files :) 

my last 0.02 on the subject.
