NK - Virus\Apologies

[Merrik Viltar Har]

Norton Anti Virus, with monthly updates to the known virus library.

If an attachment appears from an absolute stranger, I will transfer that
attachment to a "secure computer", i.e., another system NOT attached to the
home network, and see what happens on a computer that doesn't have any
important information or programs, so it can easily be "disinfected" without
having to worry about interrupting daily operations. And if I didn't have
the other computer "test taster", I would simply delete attachments from
absolute strangers...

As a computer science student, and a member of society with some form of
social contract, I can't let you install "MY" copy of Norton Anti Virus to
your system, but I will help "as best I can" any individual who purchases
their own copy of which ever anti virus program they wish install said
software onto their system and show them how to make it work. (pizza and
beer accepted, not required).

p.s. course if any one knows of a "quote" money making operation who needs
assistance, please don't hesitate to tell them you know someone who charges
some completely unacceptable per hour price for fixing systems.
