   Easy Forestgirl,

   You might have gotten the virus from someone who had Steve's email address in their computer (or three different persons who did). It's not a slam dunk anymore that a virus attachement came from the person who's address is in the return to: slot. These viri generate these things to cause just such confusion!

   OK, I'll take a deep breath.  I just hope people are using their virus programs out there.  This last year and a half has been bad for me -- Probably a couple dozen in quarantine.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   Forestgirl,

   I have to back my man Steve Knight on this one.  I have received a couple of emails from him in the last couple of days.  After reading your warning, I ran my Norton Antivirus program.  It found no problems.  Your problem, as suggested in earlier posts, probably came from elsewhere.

   I agree, I agree already!  (see post #3).  Anyway, I've killed that email address so won't be getting anything through there any longer.  Since I have access to 20 different address, it's easy enough to do.

   Up until 2002, I just ran my virus program occasionally.  Since then, I keep it running except when installing software.  Given how many have been fixed or quarantined in the last year+half, that seems the wise thing to do.
