Ah the life of a Windows user! I also get sent these viruses, but instead of doing the list above, I have a look at the attachments, open the zip files, follow the urls (the actual URL's, not the ones that appear in the email) and generally spend too much time figuring out how the virus actually suckers people into clicking on the link and what it then does. Maybe one day I'll get stung for my stupidity, but so far I haven't and I still don't have any anti-virus software to protect my system (nor does it appear that I need it for the moment.) Rodd. PS. I'm off to find the nearest lumber yard, just in case ;-] ------------------------------------------------------ - You are subscribed to the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put in the message body 'unsubscribe insights-l' (ell, not one (1)) See: http://nsw.uca.org.au/insights-l-information.htm ------------------------------------------------------
