Discussion about a newspaper site has developed well beyond genealogy and Surrey. Please don't continue the Anti Virus discussion here. As already mentioned by one of the respondents, all internet users need to have a reliable anti-virus programme and spyware programme(s) installed, and keep it/them regularly updated then there should never be such worries. Such programmes should be updated at least daily. For anyone wishing to discussion basic "housekeeping" such as AV software etc there is a Rootsweb Gnealogical Computing Tips Mailing List, see: http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/other/Genealogical_Computing/GEN-COMP-TIPS.html Topic: A mailing list for the discussion and sharing of information regarding basic computer operating tips and trouble shooting guidelines for genealogy researchers.
