    Maybe you cold get one of those electric shock ab workout belt things, wire it so when you get shot you get a few seconds blast, which at full power would be quite a shock and would slow you down: cheap, quick to do and is an incentive to not get shot.... unless you want firmer abs or your money back!

    And Oscar Wilde, along with GB Shaw should probably be up there with Shakespeare among England's finest playwrights.

    Nearly right but.... a little bit of Googling would tell you that both Wilde and Shaw are actually Irish playwrights, though both spent time in England

    ......That Sophos antivirus has the somewhat incredible problem of not being able to remove and clean viruses on an infected host......

    Actually having worked with Sophos for a few years I can tell you that it can remove viruses quite well, what you are referring to is a message that the end-user gets when a virus is discovered (the administrator also gets this message), that says "No action has been taken".

    This is the default behavior and can be configured differently, because Sophos is a corporate AV tool its not very wise to empower end users with deleting files and editing the registry, the administrator is informed of virus/location etc., and can take action (using Sophos which can disinfect, or any of the downloadable tools to clean up the registry, stop process etc.)

    An AV product which can't do anything when a virus is discovered, would be a silly idea if you think about it, bit like pushing your car everywhere because you didn't know about the engine.
