Dear List, A good rule of thumb to follow; first of all, subscribe or run an anti-virus program from a disc that is legitimate. Then, if you have any questions regarding a "new" virus running around, go to the company that provided the anti-virus program and find out what the virus is and how to "cure" it. Don't trust strangers!!! That is like someone getting a call at midnight and having that stranger tell that person to go to their refrigerator and check to see if the light bulb is working. Remember, people on lists are not telling people to delete anti-virus programs. When you are sick, you go to the doctor. When you have a virus, you go to the anti-virus company. Enough said. Best wishes, Tom Crane
