HI Roland, et.al. I stayed off a day also because of the virus, so you may be correct about that, but on Friday I went and downloaded the latest virus files from Symantec that included the Love virus protection. (Actually my personality is protection enough :) ) The important thing is not to download or open any attached files that you are not certain of. Knock on wood, but I have not received any emails with this attachment so I have not had to delete it at all. As much email as I get and as many files as I receive from people submitting to the site, I have never had a problem (knocking fiercely on wood) because anything that does not seem reasonable, I delete without downloading or opening. All my computers in the house (five of them) are on a network and I have both Norton and McAffee virus protection on all of them. In addition to exchanging files with site helpers regularly, I also am exchanging files regularly with my accounting system clients. Only once in eleven years of being in business have I contracted a virus. Our entire Cortland Office network got a virus and my partner had to reformat all the computers a couple of weeks ago. Fortunately, I go to the office so seldom I had not hooked into that network in months. Viruses are terrible, but you can protect yourself. Joyce M. Tice
