Here is an url to McAfee, that will completely scan your PC for FREE, after you reach the page find the TEST DRIVE under SCAN, that gives you the Free complete scan. If you have a virus and it will tell you on your screen what & Where, then you need to purchase their fix program. Or you can go to the other Url I have below and they may have the information for removing it your self. Generally a worn does so much damage that it requires professional help to get it fixed. A friend recently was infected with this worm being discussed. She had the computer fixed and contacted me once and since then I cannot send mail to her, it just gets returned. So obviously the situation is not totally fixed. By the way once you have opened these pages it would be a good idea to put them into your favorites program for when you need them again. here is the scan URL http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/vso/default.asp? Here is a general Virus site Symantec, for info and fixes http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html When You receive an attachment that looks suspicious, then you can type in the name of the attachment you received and they can tell you if it is a virus, what it does etc. I also agree with a prior list member, send the person that you got the email from one email telling them they are infected, some of these have a delayed payload and so they don't know they are infected for long periods of time. Also as stated by that person it does not matter who the sender is you should be wary opening any email attachments, generally you will receive a virus from someone you know, my brother's PC tried to send me one using an email my brother had mailed to me months earlier, with a photo attached. Hope this helps. Carrie Bias Hoffert
