John-
Actually I do use antivirus, and run the latest definitions, and actually my
school got a lesson with viruses they were hit with a virus, and it got
there whole server so its very important to use antivirus, because just like
that it could go adios. Of course they even had it on there computers but
the definitions were out of date by 3 years, and of course they dont have a
network antivirus program.
