Thank goodness that I have Norton Anti-virus and Internet Protection! I am warned that an attempt has been made to get into my computer, and the message is deleted. I have found that these messages come in pairs however, several minutes apart. The first is intercepted and deleted and I am informed of the attempt. The next one comes along and is not stopped, the computer thinks that was already deleted. However the first attempt gives me the subject line and sender information, so I know who to look for, and I can delete that one,too. The scarey thing was that one of the 11 pairs yesterday said that it was from roots-web! Ithink that the worm raided someone's address file and was able to make that connection. That just hit a little too close to home! However these worm all have attachments that must be opened to infect. The only way that I knew about this infection was because I saw the deleted Subject line first. So be sure who the e-mail is really from! Shelley mamabear@hotellafayette.com
