I receive a LOT of spam 'cause my email address is out there in public...I don't like it, but it used to be harmless...now a LOT of the spam is also virus infected...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 Go to Grisoft.com virus protection Check out AVG for protection also, you can download it for free. My mom uses that and NOrton and AVG has caught more stuff than norton. Good luck all. ----- Original Message ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- What is AVG and where do you find it? For free??? Carmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
