there has been alerts of virus warnings in our local newspaper......2 within the last week ! ANYONE who likes to use the internet should have a virus program on their computer to protect them from these kinds of problems........it's like having insurance on your computer ! I have the Norton (Symantec) Virus protection and I have it programed that its updated every 2 weeks ALSO....the Symantec company will send you email (if you register on line and ask for their email newspaper) and give you warnings as to what viruses are out there you need to know about. and what to expect to see if one shows up on your screen......and as Mimi pointed out.....it's attachments ( or a specific type of email message.......i.e.: the recent one was " I have pictures for you" )....dont open it UNLESS you know who it's from ! You can go to http://www.symantec.com and order the CD-rom or have it downloaded from the site. It cost around $30 +- but worth it........and updates are free just by going onto the site.
