Noone should be permitted on this list without an antivirus program. I don't have any tech support. My wife and I spent hours and even days getting this computer set up and working. I use it for a wide variety of functions from music to reading, business reports and weather reports, e-mails and internet, voice messaging and games. It's certainly not my place to say who should or should not be on the list but I very strongly believe that everyone here has a duty and obligation to protect the security and integrity of everyone else's system to the absolute best of their ability. Please, I am not attacking you personally--I know how frustrating this security business is--I feel it myself but Please don't disable or even think of disabling your virus protection. I have benefited tramendously from the list but I would leave immediately if I thought people were allowed to post to this list without virus protection.----- Original Message ----- From: "Harry Bassler" <HBassler@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 2:41 PM Subject: Re: JFW and popup balloons TerriLynne, I think I'd rather get a virus rather than go thru all the anti this & anthi that which does nothing but slow my computer so much I may as well have a very slow one. I'm seriously considering disabling my antivirus & firewall programs to see if things run better!
