Hi'
Hope you had a nice Motrher's Day. Ours was quiet and peaceful as neither
one of the boys came hoe.
Have you decided when you will be able to come up?
Weather is just awful today cold and rainy so didn't get to take my walk
this morning and I can tell I didn't.
Aunt Pauline called this morning and said that George was returning to
Covington on the 22nd. Bet she will be glad.
Gotta run as Mother has been momopolizing the computer and I have to use it
while she naps.
Reply soon
Take care
Love,
Jackie

> MASON CO. LIST MEMBERS:

> Since so many on the Mason Co. list seem to have this virus, I am
reposting the MaAfee web site address which has the instructions for
removing it. I use the McAfee Anti-Virus software, but the Norton software
should clean it, as well. The web site below will give you instructions for
manually removing the virus if you do not have virus software, or if you
have failed to keep your virus software updated.
>
> Some members may not be aware they are transmitting the virus. If you
have the virus, all of your incoming E-mail messages are probably coming in
to your OUTBOX. They are then being sent back out under "your" name with
the virus attached. You have no control over this process. This virus is
also a "worm" which can resend personal information from your computer to
the original person who posted the virus. Anyone who thinks they may have
the virus should not log-on to their E-mail until they've cleaned the virus.

> If you receive an E-mail with an attachment, there may be a sentence in
the message that says: "Take a look to the attachment" [bad grammar]. DON'T
OPEN IT...DELETE IT!!!
> =====================
> If you think you have the "32/Badtrans" computer virus, I found the
following documentation at the McAfee web site. I use McAfee Anti-Virus.
This virus is so new that even the upgrade didn't thoroughly clean my
computer. I just revisited the McAfee site, and they have specific
instructions for removing the "32/Badtrans" virus. I recommend that you
visit the following site and print the instructions.

> The "FOUR" files you need to be sure are removed are: KERN32.EXE;
> HKSDLL.DLL; HKK32.EXE; and CP_23421.NLS. I recommend that you print and
follow ALL of the instructions to be sure the virus is eradicated!
