As I previously worked in the IT department, I still keep an eye on viruses etc although our current IT department (of 2 bless 'em!) always know anyway and if there are any fixes to be found, they find them and distribute them accordingly.

We make it the responsibility of all of our branches to ensure that their Anti-Virus Software is kept up to date and they all seem to be well aware of the importance of this.  With our branches now moving over to XP, they are also assisted by the Firewall provided by this.

We use AVG for our Anti Virus software and this is more than adequate.  We also use the Google Toolbar for blocking pop ups and since insisting that our branches installed this, the pop up 'problem' has been almost eliminated for them.

All the best,
Nicola.
