I
hope. Lemme know if you get any repeats. Much abliged.


You need to run Norton or another anti virus also.


ArtKramr Yup. Ran McAfee as well Thanks.

Art (and others), you should ideally be running an anti-virus software
*all the time*, not just when you get a report of your PC
roasted. That, and a firewall (free ones available) to protect your
Windows machines as much as possible under the circumstances (of
actually having a machine running Windows, hehe). That way you can
still use not terribly good mail and newsgroup programs and not worry
about it.

Good luck on staying virus-clean.
