[ppug] Re: Internode User with Virus

Hello all,
Not wishing to upset anyone................but correct
me if I'm wrong.
It is my understanding the virus's (virii) tell lies
about where they come from, this makes it harder to
find the source. The Internode user probably doesn't
have the virus but someone that has the Internode
users address in their address book has. The virus
uses one or more of the address's and hides behind it.
This not only makes the origin harder to find but
causes a lot of people to get upset with some poor
bugger that is totally blameless.
Solution, get a good anit-virus program (even Nortons
if you so wish as it is better than nothing), keep it
up to date, run regular checks. Simple as that.

Good luck
Rodger
