Ok, anyone who can advise, please do! Re the email "such member found", I ran AVG scan, which didn't find it. Then I ran Housecall, also didn't detect a virus. I also did hard drive searches on every alias this virus is known by, still nothing. So am I safe to assume that my 'puter is not infected and I'm not passing this on to everyone I email? Last time I had a virus of this type, I had to reformat my HD--not me, I had to have it done. Would it be advisable to run the Symantec Removal Tool just in case I do have it? Or am I being paranoid? Thanks for any advice--Glo P.S. Bob, that was a great write-up on the memory/video card, I saved it just in case some day I have to ever do that.
