Yes and I keep them in a jar out in the garden shed, so don't mess with me Mr. Trumpton or I will unleash them on your hard disk meladdie.

Couldn't be Symantec scare mongering to boost the sales of its security software could it? Safe enough here on my mac anyway!

Recently moved back to Ubuntu, now it supports my hardware better.
Ubuntu > OSX > XP> Vista

The best antivirus is located between your ears.

Install Ruby - particularly useful for downloading iPlayer content in mp4 without the restrictions. Mail me if you want the how to, and the data link file.
Oh and Vista is still the best plug and play virus.

Cheers Jacques, I'll spam you later!
Tried Ubuntu 2 years ago and kept it for about 3 months (hoary hedghog 5.10?) but no printer drivers, no thumb buttons on my mouse and no widescreen due to shitty ati driver support meant I gave up.
7.10 is much better and the only thing I've had to tinker with is editing xorg.conf to get the thumb buttons working on my logitech mouse. I'm well chuffed with it and not been in XP at all for nearly a week.
Hibernate doesn't work, but being on a desktop, it's not really an issue. (suspend to ram works fine though).
Right, I'm just off to perform 2 anti-virus scans, 3 anti-malware/spyware scans and defragging my hard drive.......NOT! !happy!
