Oh I assure you, no need to worry Nico. Been computing since the 70s, no need to hold my hand.
I am quite aware of my immunity, I am even more aware of my ability to spread still on certain rare occasions. That scares the crap out of me, something using my personal Fort Knox for less then kosher purposes. I don't like that at all, not one bit. I have virus checkers, a BEEFY firewall, and EVERYTHING coming in or out gets scanned. My system is tighter then a frogs, well, erm, you most likely know the expression. I am down right paranoid when it comes to personal computer safety. I have the virtual equivilent of wearing a dozen rubbers. All of my email is not downloaded to my hard drive and opened, it downloads to a Zip Disk. First sign of trouble, the Zip is contained, then scuttled. When that nasty Mellisa virus was going around I had a few sent in my direction, all of which were promptly killed.
I am smug for a damn good reason. I work very hard not only to keep my immunity, but, to be a dead end for anything remotely dangerous sent in my direction. I am the atomic dustbin, the cyber black hole. Besides, every paranoid anal retentive hermit who lives way out in the boonies probably knows more about security then you will ever dream of Nico... :D :lol:
Now if only I could perfect my tinfoil beanie cap to keep government mind control rays out of my skull. :P

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
