>If you don't want to have the overhead of a full-time AV product running, at least get something like NAV or McAfee or F-PROT and run it against anything coming in from outside your controlled environment. Floppies and email are major sources of viruses that people tend to forget until they get bit.

I'll see if I can reconfigure vshield to worry only about floppies but I doubt that's possible.

She hast a pIII 550 or 500 and we're NOT buying another computer

Well, we're good about that. I installed a zip drive and she backs up all her data at midnight and then does a dif backup before going home.



>they load up a virus that launches a month or two after it's loaded on your system. The stuff that blows you away instantly is amateur sh!t

Now there's a clever idea, but you'd have to write it yourself in order to bypass detection.
