Regretably, I did not recognize it for what it was until it was too late. I get in a hurry sometimes. Therefore, I probably spread the stinking virus through several different lists. If it came to you I am VERY sorry. It's called the W32/New.Apt worm. It took some doing to get rid of it but I do believe it is now safely gone. There is a McAfee scan site online that can scan your computer and show you how to delete it. I can look up the site address if anyone needs it. This particular virus was somehow write protected and was hard for me to delete. It came to me from an Amite Co. MS rootsweb group. Again, I am very sorry.
