If you had the Netscape at default configuration, you can
get a virus to run automatically.  To avoid this, go to EDIT
PREFERENCES ADVANCED and deselect ENABLE JAVASCRIPT
FOR MAIL and NEWS.  Knowing how these dictators work
in trying to silence anyone who doesn't agree with them, you
guys should also invest in an anti-virus software.  I personally
like McAfee ViruScan.  You can auction a cheap copy of it
for about $10 at http://www.egghead.com
Also go to http://www.zonelabs.com and download the
ZoneAlarm (not Pro) for free.

Just like you're vigilent in regards to your rights, you
should also be vigilant in regards to your PC.
