Earthlink sucks.. AOL, MSN, same thing.
Go to the folks who own the network (subnet? pop? what ever..) THEY use..
The folks who ran the wire to YOUR "home" location.

What took you so long?
Once was enough for me..
It want's to scan every file on every drive I have..
NU does the same dumb thing "looking for" what ever..
Still haven't found a way to tell it DON'T.. pretty please?
Re: F-Secure or F-Prot.
I'm not comforted by comparing to NIS..
What, why could make trying worth the effort..

Would NOT even dream of using M$oft Network anything..
Unfortunately it comes with everthing post win3.1...:)
So most of my "Security" efforts involve disabling as much as I CAN..

To be honest, I don't really worry about viruses..
M$oft (I believe) is my ONLY problem..
Who ever supplied YOUR OS is probably yours.

My ISP is my very NEXT "security" concern. :)
