Virus Scan

    The number 1 most common thing I hear from people is that they are concerned about computer viruses.  They are afraid of contracting viruses just by looking at the computer.  This is healthy fear to have.  We should be afraid of computer viruses.  If the French-Canadians ruled the world we would have no need to fear.  Until then we should have a healthy fear of viruses.
