A report on teletex says the government is offering, free, an anti virus
system.

Anyone know anything about it>

How do you get at it?
 
The "government" is not in the business of dispensing antivirus programs.

Alan;
What is the source of this story?

I have not heard of it, perhaps it is something misunderstood?

Maybe the governemt of Nigeria or something?

OK off-topic: How many letters have you gotten from a "Nigerian citizen"
who has loads of money stuck in the bank and if you'll just help him out
with a little bit of cash he's going to really reward you...

I think you will find that this is refering to Ken Livingstone (Mayor of
London) buying a batch of ASIAN BIRD FLU ANTIVIRUS that will be dispensed
free to KEY workers in London should there be an outbreak !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
