These are the same virus >according to Symantec. Judy, et al .... FYI . you can't "search" for the virus -- you have to have a virus program to find it. But you can use your "find file" function on the Start menu (assuming you're running WIN-95 or 98) to look for the file "prettypark.exe" on your hard drives ..... everyone should do that and, if they find it, they should delete it IMMEDIATELY. . computer nerds, or at least those familiar with nasty programs designed to mess up your computer, have various names for these types of things to differentiate them by how they work and/or what they do. The various names are: . virus . worm . trojan horse . data diddler so a trojan horse is a category of virus and not the name of one. Tom Cloud <[email protected]>
