polksalet Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 What is a virus? Should I be concerned about this? http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/faq/index.php?page=virus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holy Roller Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 The electrical engineer son-in-law takes care of this stuff for me. He just killed some nastiness coming from Russia that looked like it was a Windows application. Then the doctoral student daughter got some stuff from her university to keep the machine clean. It pays to know kids that are smuckin' fart!! Rumor has it that TimC's penis is bigger than Atomin's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
