[ale] [OT] clam av for windows

It is possible to nail down the security of IE using the trusted sites 
and security levels in the options screen. You can prevent it from 
running any scripts on any sites you haven't approved. Adding new sites 
to the list when they don't work is a bother. Using Noscript with 
Firefox is much easier. If you want the procedures to nail down IE, 
contact me and I'll be glad to share. I don't use IE any more except for 
very rare sites that don't work with Firefox.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
