As an IT Pro I deal with this stuff almost every day, both real and imagined. The best defense against the vermin who write virus code or perpetrate a hoax is to use a good virus scanner, with up to date DAT files, a bit of knowledge of viruses and how they work, and a whole bunch of common sense. Firewalls and Antivirus Gateways, and control of network share are also very helpful, but let's keep this to the desktop. www.sarc.com is a good site to stay informed. It also offers free virus specific removal tools and instructions. I've dealt with corporate CEO's who have cut the IT budget to the point where virus protection was non-existant. Then, they get bit in the butt when they personally open and run a virus. Remember the "I LOVE YOU" virus? Well, I can tell you, I enjoy nothing more than spending a day on an emergency call to clean up the mess after one of these things has wreaked havoc on a corporate network. I guess my point is this: Get a good virus scanner. Keep it up to date. Don't blindly open up email or run executables if you are not sure of the source. Spend some time to learn. And never believe the latest virus rumor with out thoroughly checking it out first. Kinda takes the fun out of computing. Doesn't it. Sorry for the rant. Anyway, wasn't this a tractor discusion?
