I would urge everyone to get some form of virus
protection. Viruses are getting more frequent and can come from "trusted"
friends and associates since they hide and use an address book to re-mail
themselves. You can be among trusted friends and quality folks, like this
group, and still easily contract a virus that used a member to
"hitchhike." For all our sakes, we should all invest in a virus
checker. I use Norton anit-virus, and there are a few other good ones as
well. Since I have a cable modem full time connection, I also use
a cable router with a "firewall" and a software "firewall"
as well to help prevent tampering from the outside. My virus definition
file gets updated about once a week. The virus mentioned here is a very
old one still making the rounds. If everyone on the internet had
virus checkers, it would have "died" months ago, just like smallpox was
eradicated by innoculation. Don't be a social outcast, make sure
your incoming and outgoing mail is clean. You will be doing the
world a favor!
