I remember you when WIN95 came out SPCUG (and before)
Fact is in WIN3.11 NAV.exe anti-Virus was included but removed from
WIN95 because of competition issues with existing anti-virus
companies.

I do think after Vista proved to be such a stinker that many will
switch to "Google Chrome OS" (Linux based) as it becomes available
(overdue now)

I use "br.countries.nerd.dk"
You can find specific IP's here
http://www.countryipblocks.net/country-blocks/select-formats/

I also use Greylisting (only allows email servers)
with spamassasin (set on 5)
I find most email servers react to spam reports Brazil don't in fact
encourages more. I suspect it's something to do with Brazilian humour,
they think spamming and virus's are funny?

Now I'm more than a little afraid... Still I suppose it was the obvious
question after that lunacy. Anyone who's read any of that report, and
takes it even remotely seriously, should never be allowed within a mile
of a computer.
