May I suggest that everyone on these Lists subscribe to the VIRUS-DISCUSSION Mailing List and keep up to date on all the latest news concerning computer infections, e.g., Viruses, Worms, Trojans, etc.? It doesn't matter if your system has ever been infected or not -- these days, with new infections coming out almost every day, every computer user MUST remain vigilant and ensure that he/she doesn't become infected, thereby passing on these dastardly things to others. It won't cost you any money to join the VIRUS-DISCUSSION List, but it might save you some money if your system is trashed and you have to pay a computer expert to get it right again. Plus, in just about all cases when one's computer has to be "fixed" by a repairman, you lose valuable files. It's your choice. Keep abreast of what is happening in the virus world and learn how to REALLY protect your computer, or stand the chance of disaster. And, for any of you who do NOT use an Anti-Virus (AV) program, or, if you DO have one, but don't keep it updated at least twice weekly with the latest virus definition files, you risk losing your system and all your valuable data files; more importantly, you risk getting an infection and then spreading it to thousands and thousands of other users.

G'day , > May I suggest that everyone on these Lists subscribe to the > VIRUS-DISCUSSION Mailing List and keep up to date on Yes and no. Don't bother just reading about what might happen to you but get a good AV application. FWIW - I consider that $US19.95 per year (after the first year) to have:- >> Online or not, ActiveShield protects you from viruses, with automatic updates when you schedule them. When you think your PC may have been infected, use Scan to find and remove viruses instantly. >> It is well worth subscribing to McAfee Clinic. Try http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/default.asp? I hope this is not looking too commercial but I am now convinced that this (or another version - Norton?) is the way to go. I have just weathered the latest virus storm an reckon it was worth every penny. HURU Mike CALDER http://members.optushome.com.au/mikecalder/ Researching: CALDER, DIXON, TUSON, GRACIE D&GFHS #2979
