- I'd like to put in a plug for an inexpensive virus checker: f-prot. It's
- available via anonymous FTP, is quite cheap ( <$1/copy for most of us ) and
- has detected/cleaned several virii for us (and yes, we have lost disks to
- virii in the past; public PC labs in schools are more prone to virii than
- most places).
-
- Anonymous FTP site: risc.ua.edu (130.160.4.7)
-
- You don't need to spend a lot of money to get a reasonable degree of protection.
- My only connection to the program is as a VERY satisfied user.
-
- ..and if the author every finds himself in Seattle, he can have a standing
- ovation from the PC lab staff whenever he wants.
