Enough about money. Lets take a day out to review anti virus software. I don't have any installed because of the overhead. I always recommend anti virus to customers because it's much more difficult for them to troubleshoot virus issues. I was talking to Mark Joseph Edwards the other day and he was telling me about Best Buy who shipped digital picture frames that contained a virus. This is an authentic company, with an authentic product and yet it contains a virus. It got me thinking, no matter how careful you are on the internet, you may still get infected by your latest gadget. In August of 2007, Seagate Technology reportedly shipped a bunch of Maxtor Basics Personal Storage 3200 devices with spyware that snoops around the system looking for passwords and then sends them to an external site over the Internet. Even with this information I wont be installing antivirus any time soon. But it's worth being aware.
