[AT] OT virus warning

[David Bruce]

As was mentioned a bit earlier - run  an on line scan with Trend Micro's 
Housecall.  It's my double check against the AVAST antivirus I use.
I also run Zone Alarm along with the AVAST.  I'm sort of anal about 
programs that "phone home" so unless they actually need to be in contact 
(very few) I deny them access to the web. Could that be another issue? 
For the life of me I don't understand what the advantage is to me for 
mouse driver software to have web access (for example).
