There is yet another virus, worse than last week's. I repeat, a virus can NOT go through the lists for a variety of reasons. You might get it from someone you know on the list but NOT from the list. We do not get into a discussion on viruses, how to cure them, the latest rumor, etc. on the lists. However, there is information on the following sites which may help if you are not aware of things that need to done in order to prevent a virus from infecting your PC and then all of the rest of our PC's. The "RULE" IS - if you don't have a virus checker on your PC to check email you should get one immediately. Check out these sites for a free Anti-Virus software if you do not have a commercial program installed on your personal PC. A free program is available from any of the following sites: http://www.grisoft.com/html/us_index.html http://www.antivirus.com/pc-cillin/download/ http://download.mcafee.com/eval/evaluate2.asp (Click on Virus Scan) http://security2.norton.com/ssc/home.asp?j=1&langid=us&venid=sym&plfid=22&pk j=YGTBBXUQIZQVMUYTACD (Click on Norton Anti Virus Information - TRY) You may have to remember to update it these programs yourself but these seem to work quite well and do not cause other problems with email. Commercial programs often can be set to update themselves at specified intervals such as daily or weekly. However you get your program updated you MUST do it regularly, at least once a week and maybe more often in these times. At the following web site you can have your computer checked for viruses while you wait: http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_pcc.asp http://security2.norton.com/ssc/home.asp?j=1&langid=us&venid=sym&plfid=22&pk j=YGTBBXUQIZQVMUYTACD (Click on Scan for Virus) There are many other web sites and sources of information out there. Be wise. Protect yourself. With thanks to Roger Jewett for this collection of information.
