Peter.....if you have nothing better to do than complain about bandwith and
sigs......then *puss orf*, as Simon would have said. I get rather tired of
your constant complaining.

Do you have anything of worth to say re viruses?? If not....hit the road!!

But when a group of people make a product for themselves because they
need it, and aren't interested in turning it into a business, you can
get a good thing for free. Of course, this wouldn't have worked in the
1800's, when there weren't really any products that a person could give
away at no significant cost to themselves. But now software is such a
thing. Clam Antivirus (http://www.clamav.net) is such a
community-created piece of software. It is free and freely
redistributable and alterable under the GNU General Public License, and
many major companies (Macintosh included) trust it.

that's all well and good and i'm sure it gives people warm fuzzy
feelings, but the fact is it only detects about 1/3 of the total set of
known viruses...

Would these folks dev for Bart's? Because that's what we need; Avast
for Bart's is great, but the cost is ghastly.

Freely alterable? You mean I can create and distribute a malware'd
(sorry, "commercially value-added") version? :)

I went to the Wiki but I could not edit. As I see this is a primarily
non-Windows initiative, I would have asked about a mOS version:
- bootable Linux CDR such as Knoppix, etc.
- ClamAV on a oft-updated, write-protected USB stick
- scan all files and report malware found (ClamAV doesn't clean)

Hey Figgs,

It's a laff to see after not being here awhiles! He still doesn't get that
he merely aggravates the problem that exercises him so much!

I can't help, though, but think that Peter must be one of our many users of
psychiatric medication. And if not, he should be.

Hi Puss......

Boy, that was an old one you dragged up, grin. Peter is our resident
kvetcher who has nothing worthwhile to add......just got a bit p*ssed orf at
the time, lol.

Perhaps he should join up with that twit who pretends he is some sort of
support person (VoTech). He must be back in the asylum coz I haven't seen
him for a few months.

Yes, I'm familiar with Peter. I used to take the piss, but then I tried
reason. Clearly it had no effect. But what I dislike is dishonesty,
hypocrisy, and stupidity, and he's certainly guilty of at least one of those
with his endless complaining that only exacerbates what he's complaining
about.

Funny, I think Vo was more rational - at least you *could* put his stuff
down to a very immature sense of humour. It was almost Performance Art!
Meanwhile, I always figured he was in some kind of low-security correctional
institution - so maybe he did his time (or got murdered by one of the other
inmates LOL!).

<lol> Vo did put in an appearance for a little while under a slightly
different name not long ago, Noel spotted him first, he/she/it didn't stay
around for long <g>

Is he the now calling himself "Doc"?? I saw a few posts in XP New Users
today.

Just checking that ng out before I get the new computer built. I will post
Willy's game plan in ME General later.....he fixed this one up and it was
the IDE *ribbon* that was dead. CD Writer is now working just fine. Backup
time!!

Cheers...Heather

Can't remember at the moment will know it when I see it <g>

I thought you had done all your backups or is this new stuff ?

Can't wait to see the game plan when I get over to ME.

At least you started in a reasonable volume group, another one I check is
the basics one, if you put your toes in General you'll probably be
overwelmed <g>

That pcbutts idiot shows a degree of Vo-ism.


Where's Debbie when you need her! Perhaps we could fix them up.
