You have your shields up, and current??

[Dan Murphy]

Just a repeated FYI to make sure you are running your anti-virus software and that the definitions are current, real current, weekly at a minimum. Also, your Windows 'criticals' up-to-date, and firewalls if on cable or DSL, actually, a good practice I think even for dialups.

Hi Dan - I am getting bombarded with e-mails with virus attachments but luckily Norton is snagging them.

I really wanted to attend the DIS meet in Atlanta on Saturday but my son and I already had tickets to the SuperCross on Saturday night at the Georgia Dome ($ 40.00 a ticket)

How long are you going to be in town?

I received 2 infected files last week - luckily my anti-virus took care of them before they did any harm! Thanks for the info!

Thanks for reminding me Dan!! I had a pop up from McAffee this morning, telling me there was an update available! Better go install it before I forget again!

I finally got my criticals and updates done the other day, Dan. THANKS! Firewalls bug me. For some reason, some of them then give me problems with MSN Messenger. It seems to straighten out after a while, but I'm addicted to Messenger and go into withdrawal when firewalls upset it.

Yep, and Norton has been stopping a lot of them here too.

We were nailed by a virus a couple of weeks ago. Luckily, the keyboard literally stopped it. We had a memory keyboard and instead of it infecting the hard drive, it infected the keyboard.

Thanks for the reminder, Dan. I just checked and all is updated.. I even ran spybot.

Ohhh you mean computer shield.
Thought at first maybe you meant the type of shield that Janet Jakson was wearing during the superbowl.
Thought, "You need to update those?" LOL

Grrrrrr.....I just got 2 more "netsky" virus emails but Norton keeps finding them before any damage can happen.

They just keep coming in every day......and usually I am virus free but lately!

Thanks for reminding everyone Dan!

I thought you were talking about the Enterprise. LOL. There are many disadvantages to my Mac (like your sound files not working,) but at least all those Windows viruses don't effect me.

 

[nativetxn]

All up to date. Thanks for the reminder, Dan

My hardrive took a complete and utter crash 2 weeks ago from a virus. Just got it back a few days ago--- all set to hopefully defend against anymore!!!
