Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I'm asking now if EVERYone here has an antivirus program. The reason I'm asking is because I'm getting drowned in viruses from the Netsky group. This is ridiculous. I can't even finish typing out this message for getting hundreds of copies a day of these viruses. I have the Norton, but several days ago, it took out my Outbox on Outlook Express. I'm getting Spam that I've never had before. I have SpyBot, but it isn't doing ANY good. I'm sick and tired of these viruses, and I can't figure out where they're all coming from, unless someone here is infected with a virus. Mine isn't, but I can't even get a message typed out all the way without the things interrupting what I'm doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi group....... I don't have a virus and know on wood I have never had one in the last 10 yrs of being online! I don't always open up the attachments that are sent to me. That is a very good place to pick up a virus! I do have a spy blocker & Anti virus and my server does an excellent job of blocking alot of mail and catching virus's!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 , I haven't be on the internet most of the weekend, but to download messages. But at home I have Norton Internet Security 2004(firewall and virus protection) and at work we have Norton antivirus. Do you think you may have been attacked with a trojan. From what I've heard from my computer geek friend, Anything below Norton 2004 won't detact most trojans. So at home on the main computer (the server) that is what we have and then on the others we just have Norton 2003 and I upgrade every year. I don't know about McAffee or others. At work they just upgrade 2003 every year. I tried talking them into getting the whole package, but they have this guy they use alot and they take his word for everything - he says it's not needed - he's a bonehead in my opinion. He also says incremental backups are fine and complete daily backups aren't needed. With accounting you need complete backups if your system crashes. But even though I am the acctg manager they take his work not mine, but in the system crashes - we won't be able to restore anything. Then they will see whos right. Oh well.........Accounting files are not like word documents. Janie > I'm asking now if EVERYone here has an antivirus program.
