Gina... Remember, you can't get a virus without opening attachments so you can't get one here. Only if someone from here puts your address into their address book and it sends a e-mail directly from her. I don't think we are suppose to post about virus's here (unsure about that) but since it has been discussed already, I am going to send a description of the virus and what you watch for on an attachment. That way you will know what to look for. And if in doubt whether you have one on your computer and it is sending out... check your "sent" box and see if there has been a mailing to everyone in your address book.
