Anybody here who has gotten a virus or worm is never

I got about 5 of these before I realized it was a virus spew.

I haven't got a single one. Spam Assassin labels them all as spam
and deletes them from the server before they even get a chance
to get to my computer.

have to do is block the IPs from a couple of the offending sites. I
looked at my block log this morning. There were about 500 id'd
that matched. They never made it to anyone's system. I believe the
big ones are somewhere in the .nl and rr.com domains. It's pretty
easy to do.

Old news and I haven't had a virus or worm infect my machine for 10
years.
I
currently use a RAID system. I've got the HDs ghosted and a spare HD
ready
to load. You have to love that hot swap option. Firewalls and Counter
measure programs as well as port scanning utilities. The unit updates
it's

When an OS or server isn't worth writing viruses,
worms and trojans for it isn't worth having.

No, the main thing is to use Unix or Linux with Apache web server

That's pretty good. I'm running my own scripts, so it takes me
a while to process.
