After 2 days and about $200.00, I now believe I have cleaned up my system. I will apologize to anyone I might have passed the virus (W32.Badtrans.B@mm) . I also would say to the lady who infected my computer that I am positive you were unaware of having the virus. I also want everyone to know that I DID NOT know that I had been infected. Hopefully the new virus protector I have installed will protect against any other attacks. Again, I am sorry for any problem that may have been caused inadvertently. Cleland @ cthorpe@bellsouth,net
I received the virus again today from Clarkston but I deleted it before I got his full address DO NOT OPEN THE FILE ON THE DICKEY DIARY FROM ANYONE!!!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cleland L.

Glad you are "protected" now. As you suggested, the person who sent you the virus was (maybe even still is) blissfully unaware. Unfortunately, there are at least 4 other folks subscribed to the VA-Lee list who are STILL sending out infected messages (my virus protection software quarantined & deleted 4 infected messages in the past day). Folks, update your virus protection NOW!!!!! Remember to download the latest virus definitions regularly. My software (Norton 2002) does it automatically behind the scenes and then tells me the latest definitions have been downloaded, but I think with some of the software you must "tell" your program to check for new definitions & download. ----- Original Message ----- From: Cleland L.
