  Patricia,

  I guess you saw my letter to the group a couple days ago concerning the
  virus I received.  If you are having trouble you might like to try out
  the software I use, it is called AVG and can be downloaded at no cost
  from www.grisoft.com .  These viruses are nasty things and I really wish
  the people sending these things out would have their own computers
  infected with them and be unable to clear them off but that is probably
  wishful thinking.  :)  I have been using computers since 1978 and on the
  internet since 1991 and I have tried all the big named virus software
  packages like Norton and Symantec and so far I really think AVG works
  better than anything else I have tried.  Pat, AVG is free and they update
  their software very regularly (like 2 or more times a month for the last
  6 months or so) and you will receive update notices through email and all
  updates are free too.  When you receive an update notice all you have to
  do is click on "UPDATE" and the software automatically downloads the
  update, installs it and all you have to do is reboot your computer after
  the installation is complete.  During the last 3 years I have been using
  AVG it has not missed a single virus that has arrived at my computer
  through email.  I also use a second virus software package called VCatch
  that works in conjunction with my AVG.  VCatch works primarily on email,
  every email that arrives here is scanned by AVG and VCatch and like I
  said, so far none has managed to get through (keeping my fingers
  crossed)!  :)

  If you are having problems getting re-infected with viruses then you
  might want to try these that I use.  However, the most important thing
  concerning viruses detection software is keeping it updated with the most
  current virus definitions!  This is very important Patricia!

  Have a good day,

  Glenn
