I agree that all computer users should have Anti-S/V programs installed and to secure their systems, as I do, but don't take my word for it, scan and scan again to your heart's content! I have yet to find a free product such as AVG from the OpenSource community that is fully-loaded and fully-automatic such as professional AV/S products provide and hence the reason for my continued use of AVG. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition. Version: 7.5.488 / Virus Database: 269.13.37/1042 - Release Date: 10/1/2007 6:59 PM
