I had one of the virus worms in the spring and it was a real pain to deal with. Some of these enable the person who developed it to steal your personal information such as bank account numbers and passwords etc. So it is something to deal with immediately. WWW.McAfee.com offers free virus checks and instructions for eliminating them. Also they offer one year of virus protection for about $26 purchased over the net. My protection is updated daily.It is much less expensive that purchasing updates which sometimes are outdated in days. Anyone sending a message to this list will receive a virus infected message back because it multiplies using the address on unopened e-mails, on any computer that is infected. If more than one person has the virus you will recieve virus tainted e-mail from each one. Good luck to all.
