Guess I should expect constructive criticism from RAH anymore?

Norton does not have a fix that assures me that it is actually

It depends on the configuration, but when I send e-mail a yellow
window pops up that says Norton is checking the e-mail

Norton Anti Virus (NAV) has a windows that tells the status. From this
window you can set auto-protect, e-mail scanning, script blocking,
full system scan (gives date of last full scan), virus definitions
(lat updated), expiration date of subscription service, and Automatic
Live Update (on or off)

When ever NAV does a system scan you should see a window showing the
progress.

Good Luck,

Roger (I'm shuttin' this thin off and goin' flying) Halstead (K8RI)


Blame Bill Gates!

Hey, it works for everything (and everyone) else on the is newsgroup!

Although this could be the greatest virus checker ever invented.
When I see awesome and free in the same line it goes in the bit
bucket. That is one of the key triggers for spam in many filters.

If I owned any part of AVG or sold anything made by them, then it
would be spam. Unfortunately, I don't. Gee now I have to be careful
that I don't use any words in the English language that spammers use?
Wow, I have a formidable task ahead of me. Too bad that you let dumb
**** like that form your opinions. You should try to "trigger" your
common sense and discernment to help you form opinions, not key words.

Screw the nay sayers, Ken.
I'm a spanking, brand new believer.

I was notified minutes ago that my email delivered a trojan horse.
Twas an exe download supposedly from MUSICMATCH Jukebox.
I've used MUSICMATCH Jukebox, so it seemed like it could have
been legitimate - except they have never sent me an executable
out of the blue before.

Thanks for saving me from who knows what.

And Roger...
If there are pop ups involved with this FREE AV program.....
I don't see 'em. Maybe, that's because I use a FREE browser
called Mozilla that knocks the dog**** out of pop ups? g

BTW...
Nothing from Norton AV. ;-(

Well if u sent the email u should know what it was. If u didnt send the email
then you have a trojan and well agv isnt doing a good job since you already
have it on your system.

In regards to free browsers like mozilla thats fine if u dont need to use a
computer with internet explorer for work since u need popups sometimes to get
though all the security systems to do online trading for work since i do
investements...

But if your really worried about virus, just go with linux star office and
that sort of thing and then 99% of the virus wont work for u since no one
writes linux virus cause its no fun since not enough people use linux
