going to disagree with Dread on the word only. there's a diff between spyware and virus. Yes, all levels do it.

Remember, everybody, the 'net was designed to be fully open, it's up to you to shut the door.

send me viruses? all twelve of them? ha, find me.

Mac viruses generally have one entry route. Shut off autoplay in QT and you're safe.

Probes have to get through router firewall and powerbook firewall.

Practical advice for Blu. Viruses/spam are stopped at two levels. My server, Primus.ca, catches them on the emails and notifies me. My email program, Mail, also is trainable to stop Spam but Primus does a very good job. Too good, my son's email was stopped as porn because he used Lolita and video in the same paragraph: there was no connection in context.
