Thanks Kathy, The site helped me update my Norton Antivirus. They have a free site there to check if you have a virus. Unfortunately, I had not updated mine in a couple of months and I have the virus. I am going to have to reboot my system. It does not do a lot of damage, just sends emails to everyone on your address book. Please everyone check all attachments and update your virus detector. Don't be so dumb like myself, now I have a lot of work to do. I am afraid I will lose all my information. If anyone has any information that might help, please email the list. For those who keep getting the email from HAHAHA about Snowwhite, just block any further messages. It seems to have worked for me. I don't get it any more. Please DO NO OPEN the attachment for Snow white.

I blocked the address a few weeks ago, and yesterday the virus popped up again! Go figure!
