-------disclaimer-------------------------------
Please be advised that using any virus-specific anti-
virus software is better for most people than using none
at all these days. That said, anti-virus software is
inherently reactionary and can only "protect" against
what it already knows about (hence the need to keep it
frequently updated). Anti-Virus software can and should
probably be a part of your overall defense strategy.
However, it should not be placed above the zealous
practice of Safe Hex.
