And if you do get a warning message of and "Active X " you will know that your virus program did detect something, and you should do a complete virus scan of your complete system immediately. With out delay ! Not opening an email from the list unless you know who the person, is like the person who doesn't ask the dumb questions . . . if you don't ask you don't know, and if you don't open then you will never know ! Why else would we be on this list ? ? But to share info. NOT bugs. Some how that doesn't sound right . . . But I hope some how the meaning comes out . . . I am not bad mouthing anyone here.
