I read the same article and that is the reason for the message. I am still
using the Microsoft program but I am going to start looking for other
alternative. If I find one, I will let the list know but hoping that others
in the list are using one that is good and accessible.

Subject: Re: [VICUG-L] Antivirus programs

When I was running Windows a few years ago, I assume that's the OS you're
asking about, I just ended up using Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE. I
figured it wasn't the best if you were running non-Microsoft applications
like thunderbird and Firefox, but it was simple to run, accessible and
didn't overly tax system resources. I've read that recently Microsoft has
admitted that it isn't as good an anti-virus application as it used to be,
but I'd assume that between MSE and a good dose of common sense, you'll be
pretty safe.
