Thanks, Patrick, for the heads up. I never open unknown attachments, and it's a good thing because I received the same one you did from the same
person. The odd thing is that she replied to a message I posted 9 months ago.
For everyone else... it's not expensive to pick up norton's antivirus (still the best), and it's easy as pie to keep it updated with the most
current updates. AND, it will prevent the biggest of headaches in case a mistake occurs and a virus spreads through your computer.
