Very true - and if you dont have a virus prg I have made a quick find
webpage to get a free one if you should need one.
Also be aware not all virus use attachments and not all virus attack
e-mail , and not all virus come from or in e-mail = and not all virus are
just a focus on OE = but your system and bio's
Netscape people , and AOL people have reported problems now=

You can also get one via websites if an infected webmaster did an upload
, or some one is feeling cheerios and playing a virus prank with a web site.
Best advice there is , get an Anti Virus and read all the help files to
learn it , use it , keep it updated , and you (any member) wont be one with
the red face =
