Subject: [NS-L] a bug in my computer
Date: Sat, 05 May 2001 20:37:12 -0000


I found that I had gotten a bug in my computer via an e-mail, no, not thru
the lists, but a private e and it appears that it has maybe spread. If you
guys don't have McAfee or Norton's Virus scanner or some other scanner you
need to get one to make sure as it gets in there and sends out to all your
address books.
I got it from someone else who did not know she had it in her system and it
screwed up several files for her. She uses her computer for business
purposes so it really got her, but she didn't know about it till I sent her
an e telling her that I got it from her.
It is called w32.badtrans.13312 according to McAfee.
Thank heavens I had the antique program online as the other virus detector
that I was using for a free trial did not catch it. I do not sell these
programs, just telling you what happened to me and what you might want to
do.

There is only one other alternative to getting older, and I'm not ready for
that yet. Diggin my roots and searching for more limbs to my tree.
