Thanks for mentioning it. Slightly off the topic, I have never ceased to be amazed at the attitude some Windows users seem to have. I think it's due to ignorance, mostly. Most don't know that Avast or AVG are good anti-virus programs and Norton and Mcafee are not. I have had countless friends call me in desperation upon having one of those programs let a virus through. Sometime it's next to impossible to fix the problem.

I have gotten emails containing virus whose targets were windows and, like I said, my anti-virus caught those and killed them. Had I not been running an anti-virus I could have passed it on in the attachment and been part of the problem...not the solution. So, even though the chances of seeing a virus with a Linux target it is the neighborly thing to do to run anti-virus to protect those less fortunate than oneself. </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
