Re: XY4 freezing in Win98

IMHO, running any anti-virus software full-time causes *way* more problems
than it prevents. Unexplained crashes are the norm, and usually get blamed
on Bill Gates.

If a person is all that worried about viruses, he'd probably have a happier
computer life if he just ran a virus scan first thing in the morning and
last thing before going home. Better yet, just scan any file you grab off
the Internet before you open it.

Personally, I scan about once a week, and I have never found anything.
