Crikey smurph,
because I touch the dirty internet with it.
I literally roll-in-it, revel-in-it and yet haven't had any major problems.
What really annoys me about anti-virus is that it assumes that anti-virus is THE MOST IMPORTANT task in the world and thinks nothing of stopping
your machine, or worse crashing it to go about its task. I think the manufacturers of anti-virus software are delighted to have all their customers report in
on a regular basis...part of that 'ongoing mutually profitable relationship' no doubt.
Worse is that all the various software manufacturers have us absolutely dependent on software updates. I mean if a piece of code works OK today it should
without change work OK tomorrow shouldn't it? There was a thread on this forum just a wee while ago where a guy had got the latest build of Mach4, I think,
only to find it screwed up his working system. When I asked him why he updated...because it was recommended....why? It added no new features that he
needed or wanted nor did he require it to fix something that was broken, just Pavlov's Dog reaction to a later build. Sorry, one of my pet peeves, you may have thought
of me as sane, I'm not!
