Last Monday I installed the new NAV 9.0. The virus definitions (so far) contain 27,536 files. Only a few are Mac specific. clap.gif (FWIW, I do like it more than than v8.x.)

Yeah, I do worry about forwarding PC viri to friends and clients...

Just a naive query about "corporate responsibility"?

Does anyone hear M$ ever talk about its/their efforts to defeat virii, which the porosity of their vaunted, creative, imaginative sw appears to favor?

It always seems to me that it's 3d parties that announce what's out there and how they are trying to deal with it.

Doesn't M$ have some responsibility to their prison...err, customers? If so, does anyone know how they purport to meet it?
