I use Norton Antivirus from Symantec.  It has already blocked two e-mail
messages with the klez virus.  I'm not saying that it the only antivirus
program that works; I haven't tried any others for several years.  I am
saying that nobody should receive e-mail without adequate protection.

And, once in a while, let the antivirus program scan your whole computer,
just in case something sneaked by and is lyiung in wait.
