    1. Beware of imposter Virus
    2. Barbara Mallyon
    3. Hello All, This morning my spouse Roger has just had this Virus, it pretended to be from Microsoft, it said about a new network critical update patch, this Virus was detected by his Norton Anti Virus Protection as Worm.Automat.AHB. Looking at the message it all looks like the real thing but it is not, please DO NOT TAKE ANY NOTICE OF IT. The message tell you how to down load its own Virus. To down load Microsoft Critical Updates you go into TOOLS and select "Windows Update" this gives you any Critical Updates your computer requires. To All new subscribers, please make sure you have proper Anti Virus Protection, use this at least once a week, Norton and McAfee usually update their Virus Protection at least once a week on a Wednesday, sometimes twice a week. Get into the habit of doing a weekly back up of all of your computer files, if your computer files get wiped off you have still got all of your information on a Backup disc, you can reinstall this backup information, when your computer is clean and working again. Play safe protect all of the hard work you have done for you family research. Take care of your self and your computer. Barbara Mallyon Basingstoke, Hants, UK BarbaraMallyon@lewmal.co.uk Listowner
