Thanks, Barbara, for that warning. It makes me think that it might be appropriate, though off message, to make a couple of points about viruses after my recent experience. >Changes in virus protection are taking place, and some of us aren't aware of them. >People don't intentionally send viruses. Sure, it's fine to be wary of emails from strangers. But you need to be wary of emails from friends, too. Viruses replicate themselves secretly. We were sending out emails but no trace was left on our machines. It took a query from a friend, you Barbara, to let us know we had a problem. It was infinitely better to get a handle on things sooner (2 days) rather than later. On virus protection. We thought because we had some software in place, we were protected. We were not. We found we needed to keep actively updating the virus protection. I had turned off that nagging little update reminder. I shouldn't have. We also found out that in one case, a computer 2-3 years old didn't have the speed or memory to handle some of the newest virus-protection software. Likewise we found that the computer support personnel were weak in knowledge about an old computer. Folks, these days, 2 years makes a computer old. In our case, a switch from McAfee to Norton made all the difference. It may be different for you. I think both software companies are good. In some cases, it may be worth the expense to buy an updated disk of your virus software of choice, but much is available on line. Just don't be complacent. If you have any doubt, check on your computer to find out when your software was last updated. If it was more than two weeks ago, rush to update. Don't quarrel with a $4 fee now charged if your subscription is out of date. And if one brand doesn't work, try another. And if you need a lot of updates, be sure you do a complete scan of all your computer files after you are updated your virus software. And alert your friends if you get something from them that doesn't seem right. And again, I apologize to any of you who may have suffered any inconvenience as a result of our problem. Diana
