I also got a virus abd soent sevewral hours on the ohine with gateway
getting it out of both my laptop and my desktop. ntil now you had to execute
a fike to get a virus but nw vrus'can be had by just embedding themselves in
a email, and not necessariuly as an attachment. THis particular virus makes
the mouse quit and/or the touch pad. I strongly recommend downlaoding the
latest dat files from norton or Mcafee and running them, and if nt already
using it, get rid of outlkook express and get a better email program that
will set up good security filters. Microsoft Outlook can be configured to
set macros that will not let email open until it is scanned, Outlook express
doesnt't do this, So I am gpoing to be unsubscribing from this list as I
have too many things to do than fight another sourcer of virus. I wil read
the archives at the publc library comouter once a week. Thanks johnno
