down the MS based computers; altho if you've got a semi-modern PC (i.e.,
PII-based, you won't really notice it, unless you're very short of RAM)
I assume that NAV is norton anti virus?
This is nothing major.. just some fool exporting some files that are related
to a game that I was stupid enough to attempt to run at work.
:)
But none the less I would prefer to have something to check the M$ computers
every once and a while... just to put my paranoid mind at ease.

virus). I'm not sure if there are Linux virus CHECKERS, to check incoming
email for MS viruses, either.

windows machines are all running 98 second edition... I would need something
(Norton?) to cover the windows machines.. and the linux I am not sure of.
I did do some minor searches... but this is generally the best way to get
some more information.
