Avast! I've changed me virus scanner ye swabs!

[--Pete]

Hi,

What do you use for virus control, and what are your thoughts?

I run a tightly configured hardware firewall on my router. I do weekly backups on the working computers. Beyond that, Magi and I use common sense (and a bit of paranoia) in downloading, opening mail, etc. Periodically, I scan my machine at some AV place like Symantec. I've had two viruses in the last ten years, each of which took me less that a day to clean up.
