Please note that the person who's name is on a particular e-mail may not be the person who actually sent the virus. Many viruses are "smart" and can read an address book and send out messages under all the names listed in the address book. We had a virus like this at work and it multiplied and was sent out to many people numerous times -- what a pain! It makes it really difficult to trace it back and stop it. The best thing is to keep an up-to-date virus checker on your computer and set it to run before opening any new files. Find a computer guru to help if you don't know how to do it. Best wishes! Janis
