Well, I know this is not *the* best place to post this type of request, but it *is* the type of computer I work with, so why not? I have had some problems with viruses since I do a good bit of file transfer between school (the mainframes, lab pcs, and the like) and my laptop. I wonder if there is an ftp site that accepts anonymous entry to obtain some (at least) virus checking programs that are kept updated.... Reply via email and I'll post results so's we can all have clean machines.... Thanks much in advance , Dave Brennan UPitt SLIS dpbst3@unix.cis.pitt.edu

Seriosly, this kind of information is best available if you take up following comp.binaries.ibm.pc and comp.binaries.ibm.pd.d newsgroups. In short, there are many FTP sites which carry the goods including Simtel20, wuarchive.wustl.edu, garbo.uwasa.fi, nic.funet.fi, and so on. At our site the goods are at /pc/virus, and if you need the prerecorded instructions about using our archives, you are welcome to send a request by email. ...................................................................
