I got at least 2 of the emails this week! I just delete them! I never open mail if I don't no who sent it!!
I have Norton System Works and love it. I have on all 3 computers.
I update all securty updates from Microsoft. I don't borther with the soft ware updates to much.
If you use Yahoo for email they have a scan and download option for you to use, and this has found 2 virus for me before.

???? John, my son got 3 virus awhile back from a disk he brought home from school. I got rid of them i thought?? I fdisked the drive and reformated but it won't do a clean relaod??? I have tryeed 3 times now?? my buddy says that I must have a boot virus that I can't get out and will need to get a new hard drive??
Ture, False, maybe??

Thanks
