RE:Virus protection


Hi Jim and all...

Well, I've said it before, but here it is again.

Download and install the free anti-virus software from Grisoft...
www.grisoft.com.

It checks ALL incoming and outgoing email as well as your complete system
and boot sector. It has saved me numerous times!  Despite many emails
arriving here virus infected, I have yet (and I mean never!) to have a virus
attack my system. (Knock on wood).

Please people, it's so easy, couldn't be cheaper, and it works. If everyone
installed it, we wouldn;t be having so many problems.

Dear friends,

In order to prevent your computer from sending out any virus you may
inadvertently inherit, go to your address book and click on "add contact"
Enter a new "person" as !0000 for an E-mail address and Virus alert for
name.

since there is no one at !0000, the virus can't spread via e-mail, even if
you are unfortunate enough to get one.

Also, since viruses are spread by downloads (some of you with more 'puter
experience that I have may check this), I download EVERYTHING to a floppy
first--even if it is from a person I have known for years.  This saved me
from two viruses in the last month.
