Friends ....I was off computer all day yesterday. I was informed by Norton that I had a virus, so I called Melinda (my daughter) who came over and was able to "quarantine" it. It is a very dangerous one...and we have no idea how I got it. It is described as follows: VBS.PassOn - length 1234 bytes, type HTML application, size 1.56 B Memory Resdent (can't read word) Size: stealth Full: stealth triggered event: file Encrypting: 12:11:48 Polymorphic: (file was quarantined) File infected: C:/Windows/Start Menu/ Programs/ Start up/ Reg. hta It is possible that it was actually contained in a webpage. I have called a repairman who may be able to tell me how to get rid of it. It cannot be repaired. Believe it is insidious and extremely dangerous. Love to all....................Vicki
