Someone on the list has contracted a virus which is sending itself to others. If you aren't running a good anti virus program already then I urge you to get one immediately. The cost is well worth it! If you just cant afford to buy one right now there are some decent free AV apps out there but they don't usually protect as well. According to Hackfix.org the following AV programs are rated at 100% detection: PC Cillin http://www.trendmicro.com/en/products/desktop/pc-cillin/evaluate/overv iew.ht m Norman (NOT Norton-Norton is currently rated at 95%) http://www.norman.com/ McAfee http://download.mcafee.com/eval/evaluate2.asp Kaspersky http://www.kasperskylabs.com/ Antidote http://www.vintage-solutions.com/English/Antivirus/Super/index.html -- AntiVir is a good free one, currently rated at 97% http://www.hbedv.com/index.html Take care, Pam To unsubscribe from this list send an email to pcductape-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field OR by logging into the Web interface.
