Warning!!

This is; probably;unneccessary;but in the last two(2)days;I have
received two(2) private e-mails;from people;that I have never heard of.I deleted them without opening them!I also deleted them from the deleted file!It's not worth taking a chance on a virus.I have a virus scanner;but their mistake;could affect a lot of
people.I'll say it again-"Better safe;then sorry!"Be careful. Irish
P.S.Alot of viruses;attack everyone in your address book!They attach themselves to every address.

Irish ~ Thanx for the warning

But truely anybody surfing the 'net' should have antivirus software...if they don't well they are asking for trouble...
The amount of viruses, worms and trojans out there is unbelievable!!!
My checker scans my mail that comes in and what i send out

I have had my puter notify me of...on a bad day...10 or so attempts to place trojans on my system....

These bastards that make these nasties...need a severe public flogging as far as i'm concerned :mad:

here's a link to an online virus scanner site....the people who make PC-Cillin
http//www.antivirus.com

but note that it can only detect viruses once you've already been infected. it will try to clean them for you though as well.

I have Norton too Irish...and i trust it

But then if my system got infected...though it would be a major pain in the ass...i have everything backed up on disk...so a f-disk soon cures the problem

Sharni---The trouble is;by having a backup disc;you are protected;
but alot of the viruses not only ruin your addresses but they also
attack everyones address book that is on your addresses!They
are insidious! Irish
