Laurence,

This computer has no virus protection other than the e-mail protection
ZoneAlarm provides. If the ZoneAlarm is the free edition, and if I remember
correctly, it only protects you from attachments with an ".exe" file
extension. The Pro edition protects against approximately fifty file
extensions with the option to add more.

The owner definitely needs virus protection. I don't recommend buying an
anti-virus program when there are free ones available that are just as
effective. AVG and avast! are two excellent programs and both include timely
and free updates. You can check them out here:

PCSOFT Digest - 3 Mar 2004 to 4 Mar 2004 (#2004-65)i recently worked on a
computer that ran zone alarm, but had no anti virus program.
is the computer safe from virus attacks or should the computer's owner have
some further virus protection?
