 RW> Run a Windy box on Internet -without- virus protection??

sure! i do it here on several boxes... however, those boxes are not manned
by those who click on anything/everything :)

i've also a (linux) firewall or two that does "stealth" proxying
and scans everything that comes thru it with clamav O:)  i won't even
mention the that the firewall stuff is (re)active in that it will block
some systems based on what they do when they connect to the firewall ;) O:)
