Jasin,
I think most of us are getting bombarded. As for Anti-virus =
software, I would say to grab either Mcafee Anti-Virus or PC-cillin. I =
have used both along with many others and these two have the least =
over-head (resource use on your computer which can cause other programs =
to run very slow) and the have the most frequent updates. They both =
also have automatic updates meaning they will check every time you go =
on-line and will update automaticly if there is an update. This can =
make life much easier for the less experienced computer jocky.
Currently, the virus thats giving most of us a rash is the Klez.g =
virus which is a very crafty and nast beast. If you would like to know =
more about that virus, you can e-mail me off list and I'll explain it, =
or check any anti-virus website as it's basicly public enemy #1 in the =
internet world for now.
William
