[Ham-Computers] Anti Virus Programs

Sat, 04 Jan 2003 14:20:48 -0600

         AVG works fine with Eudora and stops almost all of the problem 
files. Eudora is available on line for free or you can pay for a version 
that doesn't have all of the pop up ads. Almost all known virus programs 
seem to attack Microsoft products so if you avoid "Outlook" you avoid a lot 
of problems.
