My wife, on the other hand, has been through several computers and many,
many crashes, burns, virus infections, worms etc. It seems every other
month her computer needs to be disinfected. She uses Norton, keeps it
updated but still whatever computer she has, it eventually gets messed
up.

=======================

Norton is not enough these days. You also need a good firewall and
spyware chaser.


Wayne, thanks for the inputs and advice. It's amazing that some form of
random encryption can't be devised and used on computer to Internet
interfaces, rather than having to rely on increasingly complex but quickly
obsolete detection programs. The military and major corporations have had
secure communications systems for years (although perhaps not via the
Internet) and they are reliable and foolproof.


You could always run UNIX (or a MAC)........
