It is always proudent to have AV software; never open attachments form those you do not know, etc... This prevents infection. And if everyone did this, and the AV software were perfect, it would stop the whole virus thing. Life, unfortunately is not that simple. I receive 2-7 virus emails a day from people I may have had a correspondence with once, maybe even 4-5 years ago. I get emails from supposed companies that complain I have sent an infected email to an employee of theirs with a virus attached. I supposedly even sent these emails when my computer was shut off and I was on vacation... no computer at all.... so I know I am not sending out viruses, nor am I infected.... But I do not know the condition of your AV software, your religion on getting it updated ( mine is daily); nor your religion about having my name in your address book. I was trying to stop the spread of the virus from your computer to mine.... this can only be done by cutting down on the available and somewhat worthless addresses you have on your computer. If my address is not in your address book, you will not send me an email with the virus attached. Enough said.. please delete all address in your address book that you do not need. IF you do this, you can not spread a virus to "the deleted". Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
