Oh, Master Mariner, you rock!

That's how a network infrastructure is designed!

<sigh> I spent all day today explaining to people that: yes, you need virus protection; yes, you need it all the time; yes, you need it every day; yes, you need virus protection, you need a firewall, you need an adware scrubber. Doesn't matter how new the machine is, how long you spent on line, what websites you surfed.

And they don't like my answer!

Gee! I had that same discussion with a student tonight. He thought because the computer he bought before Christmas came with Norton he didn't need to do anything else... he would just never get a virus.

What rock do these people live under anyway!!! :-)

Hi Rose! ~waving~

ARRRGHHHHHH!!!!!! Tell me about it! I've been trying to teach the students this for MONTHS now, but they STILL DON'T GET IT! And they always complain that it's too hard or takes too long or costs too much or blah blah, despite the fact that there ARE a few decent free virus scan products and we're always willing to talk them through using the other products. And yet they STILL call us complaining when they get pop-ups or say it's OUR fault when they end up with a virus or worm or malware.
