Re: anti-virus and such...

**"* P* <r*@comcast.net>**

Linda,

I find PC-Cillen by Trend Micro very effective. They have a free scan you can do to
see if it picks up anything your anti-virus missed...and it usually does According to
my computer "doctor/guru", many anti-virus programs only stop junk from passing
through when they are paid a fee...if the entity doesn't pay a fee, they "supposedly"
let the junk fly. PC-Cillen isn't supposed to be a company that does this...

Since I'm not a computer geek, I don't know if any of this is true...but I know
PC-Cillen has worked for me for a long time. I now pay for the upgraded version.

I also use Carbonite.com as a great off-site backup system. If something does
attack...you can easily retrieve files...AND it is easy to set up to automatically
back up all important files. I have had this for a couple of years and love it. The
only negative is that it slows your system a bit, because it is continually backing
up anything you are working on.

Just my measly $.02...

Fellow listserv members,
I'm so sorry for the annoying post and emails. I thought I had solved this problem.
I've changed antivirus providers, run a full scan and killed a worm. I'm not a
computer expert and would appreciate suggestions any of you have on what to do next.

Thanks,
Linda Nitchman
