Free AntiVirus Scan OnLine -- NOW!!!

[superba]

Hi All,

Stephane's comment is valid unless you know the provider.

Trend Micro is a successful supplier with other products that has been
around for a long while.  I used them years ago when I got caught without a
valid virus scanner installed and some stupid virus or worm was circulating.

I'm responding to Stephane's email lest the FUD(fear, uncertainty, doubt) of
his post deprive someone of maybe their last chance/only opportunity to have
their machine scanned quickly.  I do not recommend House Call as a permanent
solution to combatting worms and viruses.

Grudgingly, I admit that Bill Gates was correct:  "Spammers must pay for the
cost of the havoc they wreak."

If the Quattro List Admin sees this, we might be better off to create a
special group for this kind of post.

Cheers!

Jim Jordan
