Re: Re: Pretty Park Worm Questions

From: Chris Darlington <chris.darlington@sympatico.ca>

Just for what it's worth ,  I was one of the fools that opened the
attachment a few days ago without checking to see what type of file it
was.  Due to fatigue and double vision I simply clicked on the file
attachment and instantly got a bad feeling when I didn't see a pretty
park full of irises and stopped loading it before it was complete.  I
suppose I was lucky because after a thorough investigation of my system
, I now feel comfortable that I saved my PC from the worm.

I initially panicked because I also belong to an ISFA Premier League
list that has 800+ members.  Needless to say , I am now looking into
some virus protection as I have none at all.
