[Shotimes] OT- (computer stuf)

You guys need to trim some of the dozen or so messages on the bottom.
 I get over 100 emails daily, some occasionally have a virus.  Norton
immediately quarantines it.  You may think your firewall protects you 100%;
not so.  If you query a web site, it will reply.  If it sends you a virus,
what then?  Only a good AV will stop it.  Norton works in several ways, one
is to prevent the virus from accessing the boot sector, etc. if it is a new
one.  If its one it knows it stops it immediately.  I'm sure others will do
the same thing, just familiar with NAV.
