I have noticed allot of concern lately about viruses coming through e-mail. "Happy99.exe" and other viruses can be a big problem. The best way to reduce the chance of virus infection is to use a good virus protection software. I have used Norton for about 6 months and like it very much. I have had no problems with viruses of any kind. It's easy to install and easy to update every week or so. This is their web site address http://www.symantec.com/nav/indexA.html James Dale Sands
