Insanely busy

Not too much time to say anything. Just grabbing a quick bit to eat for lunch before launching back into the fray. Have already done this month’s billing, been on and off the phone countless times with our ISP trying to pin down the exact cause of SMTP connection failures, had a number of Symantec “alerts”, and the ensuing panic that users call me with to find out what to do because the AV told them they had a virus, and I’m now trying to get everyone to change one little setting that should correct the connection failures.

(Formally known as Microsoft Anti-Spyware) It’s definitely a clean interface, and it seems to run a bit quicker. A “quick-scan” of my laptop system only took 3 minutes.
