Many New Virus Definitions This Month Already

I don't know if you all update Automatically for Virus Programs.
But so far in April and we are only 6 days into the month, there has been 7 new Virus Defintions Updates added on different days and on 1 day 2 to Anti Virus Programs by Symantec and others.

If you have not updated recently, may I suggest NOW would be a good time to do so, and leave auto Update and scans activated.

This is relevant to PC's only and not MAC's of course!

I think we need a :snigger: smiley, I'll have to ask the PTB if one can be arranged.

Yes that sounds a Good idea, as well as the "Smug" looking one.

I'm not jealous... not at all.

Especially so as when I bought my current PC I was toying with the idea of a Mac as they looked rather funky, plus I could have a 20" widescreen monitor for about the same as I payed for this current setup.

I chose PC over Mac inlight of the software I regularly use and the liscences I already had & paid for them. I'm not saying I don't like my PC, I love it... but some part of me is saying "told you so"...

I have said it before, and I will say it again. macs are not invulnerable to attacks.

They need to keep their security up to date just as much as the Linux and PC users do.
