Re: Read about the latest virus

I get so many sent to me, that I don't keep count anymore. I was deleting about five Sircams a day during the week that it was spreading all over. I don't know how many copies of the latest I have deleted, because the infected attachments get stripped out before I see them.

Buying and running Norton antivirus is an easy solution. After reading Don's note saying it took 20 hours to restore (and I bet he's got little things to fix as time goes by) and Archie's note that he lost files, I'm convinced!

I also have Zonealarm running on my Microsoft IE system.

I don't want to sound like a smart a$$, but please friends, just break down and get an Anti-Virus program. (I prefer Norton Systemworks which does about a dozen other things as well) There are automatic updates online and it wil protect and correct against the latest versions of worms and virus attacks.
