WOW---I'LL NOT DO THAT AGAIN !!
The instant I clicked open, I started getting this rapid beep-beep from my computer, the screen went ape s**t & I went for the off switch !! (gotta tie me a string on the power cord so I can jerk it from the wall quicker than waiting 5 sec for it to die . Upon restarting, I get this window (wdws-98) that says " we found a previous copy of your files that we can use for start up---press enter " (or words to that effect) WHUT HOPPEN???

Jerry You got hit with a virus. It was spoofing the return address - apparently someone else that was infected had your address and the parachute people both in their address book. Find a local shop, have them boot with a clean disk and find what you're infected with. As bad as it is, you're lucky that you got a virus that gave you an immediate indication that something was seriously wrong. The worst ones quietly destroy all your data in the background without you knowing. |

The last days, Norton antivirus have been updating the virus definition
every day, normaly it is once a week. I think it pay off to have a subscription on updates. I hope I didn't lead you on to something bad. it was not my intention. Jan. "JAFO" skrev i meddelandet ...
