Dear Mr. Polak:


    I am sorry to have to write you, but this talk of viruses sound
scary.  I have just gotten Arachne back up after an unfortunate computer
crash with the old hard drive and would be upset if a virus wiped my
drive from the old machine. Later I want to install a different drive
for Linux or something.  How bad is this and does it only affect you if
you are running in Windows?  Is this the dread "Kali" virus {not to be
confused with the Arachnoid from Australia} that is going around.  What 
are the chances of this thing damaging my system?



Yours,
