| Now there's a platitude if ever I heard one:
Quote:
| "All computer users should exercise caution when deciding what is safe to run on their computers," said Mr Cluley. |
Personnally, I've decided it's safe to run Linux, MacOS and AmigaOS
Anyone sick of catching viruses and other malware with OE and IE should take a look at Mozilla. Excellent. |

I'm quite sure that with a few hours work I can configure Evolution to run all Visual Basic and Win32 attachments included in an email through wine when you receive them.
How about that?
Oh well, seriously virus coders should be shot on sight. I've got enough work to do allready.
Ah, and this goes for everyone: Don't try running Windows virusses through wine, it'll work all too perfectly and #### up your machine, especially if your running as root.

It's not so bad, I feel really popular. |
