[R-390] VIRUS !?!?

Sat, 10 Aug 2002 11:32:39 -0700

As a rebuttal to this, my home address book contains my work email address
since I frequently work back and forth. No virus laden email has ever come
from home.
End of story.

Well, you don't think you have a virus, but without AV you will never know.
Just because the computer is still working doesn't mean it is clean.  You
could be harboring one of the little suckers that collects e-mail addresses
and remails these gems.
Anyone without CURRENT AV, exposes themselves to a potential killer (been
there cleaned it up) and exposes everyone they are in contact with to a
potential problem.  The DHCP in the router does nothing to prevent this.
