My first message was meant to go only to the Mike who sent that threat
about a virus..  But since it went out to  everybody, and more related
messages have come up since then, let me answer the above comment, as
that is something I wondered about, myself.

Evidently Microsoft wrote faulty programs into Windows, and the person
who wrote this latest virus was trying to point that out.  I have not
updated my Windows program online for the last year or so, but if I had,
I would have installed the patch which would have prevented this
problem.  It is time consuming with my slow download time, but I am in
the process of downloading all the last years worth of updates to
Windows.  I was not aware before that it was so important, but now I am
doing that, and it takes me long hours. But exploiting this problem by
putting a virus on so many computers is a really lousy thing to do.
