Welcome to Janet Trudgeon who has joined this week and welcome back to Mary Hamilton. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** It still makes me pause for thought each week as I send out these musings, to see my copy from the list come flying back in within literally seconds - from down-under to the US, through the RootsWeb system, and back down-under in the time it takes my ISP to switch from processing my Outbox to processing my Inbox. ****** ****** ****** In response to my footnote on the last Virus Warning... > As always, practice safe e-mail habits - even those of us who are > reasonably experienced still get caught !

So I virus-checked the machine from a CD and first installed an anti-virus program and a firewall program. Next I connected it to the internet and downloaded the latest virus signatures and firewall updates. During that first connection I caught a nasty worm virus. I had been on the internet for 30 minutes, and had not yet used a web browser (Internet Explorer) or an e-mail program." ****** ****** ****** Feel free to join in and present your own items.
