Subject: [OT] Virus protection?[OT]

With all the small tournaments here I am wondering if people have been using
virii protection on their computers?

Do they turn the protection off while the games are going?
Do they have none at all?

The reason I ask is I have recieved emails from people here at the CCC that I
speak to via email, that are infected with email worms. I have emailed those
specific individuals giving them a heads up to remove whatever worm they are
infected with and a link to the correct virus removal tool from the Symantec
website.

I have seen other posts that state if one is using a Chessbase product to turn
off the virus protection as it slows everything down horribly.

I am just wondering the reasons one should run a virii program, and when one
turn it off.. obviously some people are not to clear.

PS. I have been slowly making the conversion to Linux as I dual boot. I find
myself in Debian more and more as the amount of exploits for Windows is getting
out of hand.
