found out it was my ISP that had messed with me.

So, to reiterate Dusty's warning, everyone please be careful about this virus. It may be able to replicate itself through email to our contacts in our Address Books. I don't list anyone's email address in any Microsoft apps I use as a measure against spreading these viruses. I have no way of knowing who I got it from, but since I got it twice in 3 weeks, it's definitely out there running around and making trouble. So make sure your anti-virus software has the current virus definitions and run your anti-virus program. Norton reported that this virus was the most widespread virus for at least the last 2 weeks of May. It's always something.

Everyone, please take good care of yourselves tomorrow.

Love and Peace,

Thanks for the warning ie, I once was cut off from AOL and called them, they informed me that I had sent out over 506 messages, a bloody virus had sent them, they straightened that out and Norton caught any others that INVADED me, this computer also has a built in virus detector, aggravating sometimes as it shuts down the computer at once. I found it best never to even do anything but delete any messages that look funny or are not from known people or boards, then Norton can rest and computer does not worry its little tecnical head! It is a shame but hundreds are caught weekly by the ISP's but some do get through, it is sick what some people do to us. Anne
