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. Kam. Post all replys to news:gun.general The above e-mail is false.
