Snow White virus

[Robert Myers]

Or install Windoze based AVG virus software (free download at 
http://www.grisoft.com) and let it take care of all those niggling little 
problems automatically.  All you will see is a report from AVG whenever 
Snow White and her little friends (or whatever) show up in an e-mail or 
other file from somewhere.  The report will tell you what the virus was and 
will store it in your "virus vault" to await your action either to 
completely rid your system of the file or to override AVG if perchance AVG 
has made an error of which you are FIRMLY convinced.  Even the frequent 
updates are free.  I can testify that it works extremely well with Eudora 
Pro 5.

One small caveat: if you elect to have AVG certify that outgoing mail is 
virus free then AVG will make use of MIME coding and will offend some of 
our MIME challenged groupies.  It's easy just to turn that pretty much 
unnecessary feature off.
