Virus scanner: One good place to start is with certain federal agencies who could and should regulate their own web sites and all the documents they have available for download. How many other Internet users have gotten a "malicious script" detected message upon an attempt to open an agency document and how many users are willing to save anything from that source to their disk ?; Posted by: mmaizel Posted on: 02/19/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
