In this past year's tour of my friends and family, I've taken to removing their antivirus software at the same time I remove their spyware, and I've taken to installing Mozilla (with its IMAP client) as a way to keep the machine from having any dependency on anti-virus software. IT managers are encouraged to consider a similar move next time they're asked to approve the renewal costs of a campus-wide anti-virus license.
when my mother wanted to use the web, i gave her a laptop with ROM-boot linux (Mozilla runs on top of it). so far i saw no problem, she's okay with using linux. ROM-boot linux was from www.cramworks.com. (she is using cellphone for emails) itojun PS: i have no relationship with cramworks.com
