Bob: One more question. I noticed this morning TWO different e-mails with attachments that BOTH of them had an underscore as the beginning of the senders address. (One was [email protected] other one was [email protected]) Anyway, tell me this. IF I should open the e-mail BUT NOT download the attachment and open it, am I infected. My understanding is that it is ok to open the e-mail---you cannot become infected that way. You can even DOWLOAD the attachment (although I wouldn't do that) as long as you don't OPEN it. The virus is activated upon opening the attachment. IS THAT TRUE? Let all of us know---and let us know how sure you are of your information as there is so much conflicting info going around. Valerie

By far the best way to avoid a virus is with a good anti virus program. I use Norton bur there are several others that ate very good. usually about 25 to 40 for the disk and 3 to 10 a year for todate support. I catch bout 10 viruses a week including one tonight, haven't had a problem resulting from a virus since i caught "Happy 1999" (in 1999). If your interested write me off list and I will send details/ web site etc. -- The Richardson Memorial CD-Rom at http://www.mindspring.com/~dcrichardson/cd.htm Home page: http://www.mindspring.com/~dcrichardson/ Most useful web sites: http://www.mindspring.com/~dcrichardson/useful_sites.htm David C. and Emma J.
