Hi gang: Concerning anti-virus protection programs like Norton (the best), don't just do a live update monthly. Do it weekly AND everytime you hear of a new virus going around on the maillists. Once a month for a busy user is not often enough. My Norton is well worth the money I spent on it. It has caught about ten viruses this year. And yes, back up on floppy disk any important file, including on Family Tree Maker, etc. This is a great, active list. Janice B.
