Thanks for the reminder Dan. I was tempted to open mail last week from a distant family name, tho I am not searching it at the moment. I decided to scan it with my AV first, and sure enough it had a worm virus. I suppose it would have been caught, but why take the chance? Better I was safe than sorry. We all need to be "aware" of what is coming in the mail with so many virus's out there. You have said it SO many times that we ALL need AV. It bewilders me that people would take the chance of ruining their computer, losing information, or infecting another unknowing person. Please do keep up the warnings. Some people need them.
