Yeek. I'm kind of surprised Yahoo would allow actual viruses to be installed. o_O

I keep Windows updated, and use the free version of Zone Alarm. I have never used LookOut for e-mail. I don't bother with AV software, and have never had a problem. Now that I use Firefox, ads aren't a problem any more, either. I don't know how I put up with all those flashing banners and bouncing avatars when I used IE. It's so great, being able to block all that stuff. Speeds up browsing, and is a lot easier on the eyes. I've blocked all the *.swf ads from Rosity, though so far I'm keeping the still ones. I kind of like seeing them, and they aren't too distracting.
