I am the stake computer specialist (4+ years) and FHC Director (6+years) so I have a vested interest in this list also. I have noted that some of the centers are getting the F-Prot antivirus software from the FamilySearch CD, that makes it rather old now and not very effective with all of the new viruses coming out all the time.

Are you aware that the latest version is 3.07 and was released last week and can be downloaded from the internet? The address I use is http://www.itd.umich.edu/virusbusters/disinf-fprot.html This site mentions that this is shareware and you need a license to use it in other than a home user setting. I checked with the Church computer support office this morning to verify that the Church has a site license for the both DOS and Windows versions and they assure me that they do, so we can use it on all Church computers. I have it installed on all of our Stakes computers including the FHC's.
