[edit] Please don't spam

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, one or more of the external links you added to the page Antivirus software do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --CliffC 22:51, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Don't vandalize Wikipedia

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Antivirus software, you will be blocked from editing. ... richi 17:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Please provide edit summaries

It would be helpful if you left an edit summary along with your edits, thanks. In their absence other editors have to spend time deciding whether changes like this are constructive or otherwise. I spent a few minutes reading the material at the deleted link, which seems pertinent to the article, and decided that this was a case of "otherwise". I have restored the link. --CliffC 01:37, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
