Woops, meant to say 'harder to infect', just realized I said
impervious at the beginning and you had said 'not

you don't know about, you are asking for it, no matter what
platform.
I am perturbed that it went to everyone on the list, but I
think Nigel would not KNOWINGLY have done it if he had known
that he was infected.
As much as I detest Norton and Macafee and how they
interfere with other system operations, I would USE them if
I did open up or install software that was not from a
reputable or well known source.
