Probably should have researched how the electronic signatures where done in opendental before opening my mouth. :) Also, just to clarify, never said that electronic signatures are not legal/accepted, just that you need to be careful of implementation (copy and pasting a digitized signature to a docu...

It is trivial to bypass signature based anti-virus if you know what your doing. Also malware developers download antivirus updates a...
