Hello all, Just wanted to pass on something that I've heard from a few different techie-types now.
They say that most viruses (is that how you spell it?!) are geared toward Microsoft & affecting as many users as possible. Therefore, you can avoid being affected by a lot of the viruses if you use an email program other than Microsoft Outlook or the other common one is Netscape Messenger. Other options would be Eudora (what I use), Opera, or web-based email programs like Yahoo or Hotmail. I think you can be infected by a virus on any email program if you open an attachment, but for something like Bugbear that didn't have an attachment not using Outlook was what saved me. I don't know much about computers, so I may have completely misunderstood. Does anyone know anything about this? For you guys that have become infected w/ a virus, what email program do you use? FYI, I think Eudora & Opera are available for free on the net. Just doo a Google search. Cheers, Jen -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
