Subject: RE: Tech: Is it possible?
John, my Kakworm may have been killed by Norton, but the problem that it left was that it changed fonts intermittently, sometimes several times in one page. As I only had one computer then, also used for business, you can imagine how much I liked that.
A more experienced pal pointed out that InoculateIt worked alongside Norton (Don't know if eTrust still does) and was free, so I downloaded it and it cleared the problems completely.
I do appreciate that the interval between a virus' release and the VK writers releasing a fix is variable, depending how quickly THEY receive a copy.
I started computers with an Amiga, a forgiving but easily changed machine.   Directory Opus could change nearly anything. Formatting and reinstalling would fix nearly everything. Ahh, the old days, when the sky was bluer.....

I did buy a new 2.8 with XP, but for my son who is at Polytech doing Electronics. So if I went to XP completely, I would have bought 3 copies of XP. Computers sitting not 6metres apart.
Now, if I could clone my net computer OS onto my business computer, it might be worth it.....
