Julius - if you don't mind my asking -- what is your operating system -
mine's XP - I installed the Microsoft patch and put in a firewall -- there's
also a "removal" software that is supposed to help (or remove the problem) -
if you have continued problems - I can refer you to some fixes (I think) - I
am no computer whiz - that's for sure !!!
Good luck,
Harold Beck

Dear Friends,
Today my comp. has been swamped w/ at least 30 spam-type e-mails, all with
an attachment deemed unsafe by my comp. All have been deleted without
opening. Although none were directly connected or said to be directly from
to the aroid-l list, several were purported to come from friends of mine who
are members of this list and looked legit., had my comp. not warned me I
might have opened them. Two were said to be from the 'postmaster' at
hotmail.com, and another that came in a short while ago was said to be from
a division of MSN, my carrier!!!!! Something is afoot out there, so look
out. Just a heads up.
Good Growing,
Julius
