Virus related software:
F-Prot is my anti-virus software of choice
If f-prot has not been upgraded past v2.21, then it is right here
Otherwise, it is on this site
another, possibly more reliable, place to find f-prot
A review of f-prot
another possible place to find f-prot
The more paranoid people (like me) like to have redundant virus checking, and McAfee has another popular anti-virus package.
(If you're wondering, I had trouble finding a current version of f-prot for DOS, and I don't want to go through this again, so I'm collecting lots of links)

Educational resources on the net:
I look forward to the day when everybody is on the net. One of the best ways I can think of to get toward that goal is to get the people in charge to realize what an excellent resource this is. Please, invite all educators to come look at this li st.

If this is not enough for you, I have another list of 500 educational resource links.
