Mon, 20 Nov 2000 04:11:22 EST From: Lileddie32@aol.com To: SCT-INVERNESS-L@rootsweb.com I have not opened any attachments, or downloaded anything in several weeks. However, I was going through emails the other night, the computer pulling them up one after the other, and I may have inadvertently opened one of the emails. Is it possible to get infected just by opening the email? ================================= Hi Joanie, You won't get any atttachments from the rootsweb lists as they are not allowed. They must have been with private messages. Norton will catch any so called viruses, if you update it and the programme will remind you to do that. Cannot say what a virus will do as I have never seen one. Just lots of virus 'scare' messages from time to time. regards, Maureen Kuzyk.
