Re: Proper Handling of Virus Tainted E-Mails
Jerry: a lot of people don't even know they have gotten the Virus when it
comes in. Look at my other post about pc-cillin. they have a website where
you can do a free virus scan and also download a free trail version of
pc-cillin. They also have a tool that will help get rid of the virus on
pc-cillins website. If I can help you any further please let me know. I
can't really blame anyone that accidentally gets the virus. Thats why they
call them accidents. BUT everyone should have a good virus program installed
on there computers.
