It only takes cookies to make this happen--not a virus; don't panic.

Today, my daughter Dawn used Simtex (sp) and it too verified that it was virus free........so we talked to AOL trouble shooters and was told the following info: Someone took my name and is using it to infect others. One of you out there has the virus on your computer and it is using my name it lifted off your buddy list. Since they have probley gotten my list of buddies and all of you are on it.......you need to check your computers. Sorry about all of this but want you all to make sure your computers are virus free. My daughter says, "It is what happens when you forward, forward, all those cute little messages." Consequently, I will not open one anymore nor will I EVER forward one to any of you. If I don't open it I will not know how cute it is and won't be tempted. This is the last message I plan to send using the Gramka name. AOL won't let me change it so I plan on just getting on the internet and going elsewhere. I have paid AOL for a year in advance or I would change all together....... Til we meet again..........check those machines. I plan to get a firewall too and keep my Nortons.
