Re: Virus / Network issue mitigation methods

[Jason Richardson <a00jer1 () WPO CSO NIU EDU>]

I would like to build on questions 1 and 6 a little by asking those of
you who answer "yes" to state what product(s) you're using and/or
whether you're growing your own.  My answers appear below.

Thanks,
