Marc, I have never gotten a virus from mail sent to me from Google Groups from other ENTS. On occasion a spam post accidentally makes it through, but these should be obvious from their topics that they are spam. I just delete them and then go and ban the person who sent the post. The files section can get bad stuff in it since it is set to allow members to post to the files section, That has happened only once with a photo that I know of. - but again these posts should be obvious. I always click on the links other ENTS have sent me and have not had any problems at all.

From time to time we see some really obnoxious posts etc. Has anyone got a virus from visiting Google group page, clicked on a bad link or download a picture? I find myself not going to every link that someone has posted especially if I do not recognize the name. I exercise common sense but at the same time not the most computer savvy person. Ed, I hope you don’t think I am scrutinizing you after all we are Facebook friends now! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
