I routinely receive lots of emails from people seeking overclocking advice. I also get lots of emails from family and friends plus a fair amount of spam too. Sometimes I get emails that contain viruses. Fortunately I have Norton Antivirus 2001 installed which I keep updated on a regular basis. Apparently some people, including my own Mom and sister, don't think using an antivirus program is at all necessary, or they don't want to hassle with it, or think it's too expensive, or have some other dumb excuse. Well, sooner or later your computer will get infected and this could lead to irreversible loss of data or a hundred other computer problems ranging from minor to complete failure. Almost everytime I get a virus from someone, they have no clue that it was on their computer. Then when I ask what antivirus program they're using, they usually don't have one. DUH! It's like having unprotected sex. Do you want to get AIDS. Do you really think it could never happen to you? Please, spend a little bit to invest in a good antivirus program. McAffee and Norton are a couple of good ones that I can think of off the top of my head. Come on fellow overclockers, we are the elite of all computer geeks, spread the word and insist that all of your family and friends get with the antivirus program. Amen.
