Trsut me, I'm really not trying to confuse you (or anyone) on purpose! I know the Firewall/router won't stop worms and trojans, I put that in there as far as the overall security of my computers. The AV programs checks everyday for updates, and even then I will check manually every chance I get or think of it, scripts are handled the same way as the worms and trojans. Usually someone else have received it, and a fix/patch is forthcoming, but overall, as I said, I'm pretty confident in my setup and habits that, for the most part, the meanies are caught before they even think about doing anything bad. I think I went about two or so years without any AV program(s), and never suffered from it, but since (some) people don't have anything better to do than to make bigger and badder things, I now run AV programs and so forth. >-----Original Message----- >From: mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >[mailto:mswindowsxp-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Neil Atwood >Sent: Sunday, December 15, 2002 11:41 AM >To: mswindowsxp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [mswindowsxp] Re: Spice girls' vocal concert > > > >=20 >Hmm.
