dave, I'm not much of a IS support guy, BUT I do know that on the
machines that I am responsible for I recommend that people use Netscape
and related products.
Netscape has a browser and e-mail client built in, and in conjunction
with even a mediocre virus software package you can stop anything.
the idea is that no one writes virus for such a system. I am forced to
use XP and work and every time I am forced to download a new "patch" the
documentation almost always is due to fix a security breach in outlook,
or IE.
over the course of the last 3 days my 2 machine have been getting 3 or 4
different virus (each) per day. netscape just opens them up and I LAUGH!
cause the package cant auto run in netscape. (tee hee)
so I like to check by saving a copy to my desktop, and that's when
McAfee yells at me and pops up with the super cool image of a hand
holding a slimy green "bug" and tells me all the info on the virus.
a good system.
IN FACT!!!
a system, so good that LARGE corporations use MY SYSTEM, as a way to
prevent what you are/were going through. A good example of a company
that uses MY SYSTEM is Bell Canada Fleet Services. Ask Calum all about
it.
