Re: what do you suggest?
I used to think that...
But that last round of virii - the Nimda thing. Ouch. Didn't hurt any of my data but what a PITA. Our timesheets are on the intranet. Our company server runs IIS and our website on the same machine. Yes, the admin was an idiot and didn't keep up with patches, so Nimda infected the server, and when we went to enter time...everyone else got infected, then the shares were infected...pain in the BUTT to deal with.
I run AV software in the background all the time now. I'm not afraid so much of my lapses, especially since I use Netscape for email, but with networked machines - I deal with the performance hit background AV tasks cost.
