JYD, Don't stop posting, its not your fault.
Virus's can use names from anyones address book to mail themselves out. You have done everything you need to do. Everyone out there in internetland has to be responsible for protecting themselves from viral attacks. Kinda like wearing protection for other activities. You don't want to get hurt out there, do ya?
I got hit with a viral attack four weeks ago and am just now getting back to normal, I just wasn't keeping up to date on the latest virus definition files. No one to blame but myself. Now I have the lastest Norton that automatically checks for updates everytime I go on the internet. I also updated the operating system to XP and downloaded all the patches. It looks like it will be a constant battle until we start finding these virus makers and lock them up for a very, very long time to remind them that its not that funny.
Best Wishes
Lonnie
