Dear Virused Cousins, This virus attaches itself to your e-mail address book and sends out e-mails under your e-mail address. That doesn't mean the person whose e-mail address shows is the one who passes it own. I was unaware the messages had gone out until I started getting alerts from recipients who had virus protection, which I didn't have. I think I got it from Mr. Woodson, but he is no more guilty than anyone else, rather he is a victim of it as well. All he's guilty of is having our addresses in his machine. We can lock the barnyard door now that the horse is out with the excellent suggestions of downloading virus protection from the web, and checking once a week. I thought I was safe because I never opened mail except from someone I knew, which is the method this virus operates on. Pretty insidious! Well, we're all learning! Please don't blame anyone, it's just do to ignorance. The whole country is learning about terrorists. This perpetrator is an internet terrorist.
