Default OT virus

Kelly, this is GrannyEast talking (vs. Nedra, who definitely rules as
GrannyWest): Girl, you said you hadn't updated virus defs, etc. because
your computer is too new??? I may be "hopelessly in love" with Sy-man-tec,
but I least I get reminders when I need to update my virus definitions!

Note: Seriously, a good anti-virus program is essential. Whichever one you
choose, check to see if it's working as you intended, though. For example,
I downloaded PopSubtract to get rid of those *really annoying pop messages*
but it apparently interferes with the daily scan that I set up through
Symantec's Norton Antivirus -- and I hate to confess how long it took me
to realize that supposedly-scheduled-scan was not occurring.

Yes, I thought of this as well. Unfortunately, I didn't have it yet,
and I couldn't download it because of the da*n worm! (My computer is
relatively new, and I haven't had a chance yet to download ZA, or a
download manager, or update my virus defs, etc. I'll be doing all
that as soon as get the system cleaned up.)
