If you're getting a BSOD when an infected email is scanned, that's Norton AV doing that. That is one of the reasons I went back to a OLD version of NAV. I had too many problems with v. 2000, 2001 & 2002.
It sounds like you don't reboot very often. You should always do that a few times a day even when you get no crashes. You'll have a more stable PC (as far as win95/98/SE/ME goes). -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Helene" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jeff Dougherty wrote: > Helene, > Next time you get a vir**, go to Norton's home page and search for it's name...you > will learn a lot. > There is no way to stop from getting these messages and now sometimes no way to > find the person that is infected that the message came from. > The vir** also uses an email from the infected user, changes the mail from header > and sends it out. > Something we have to live with if you wish to be on the Internet. > Just remember, even if Norton does not stop an attachment, does not mean the > attachment is safe. > I had received about 30 infected emails before Norton had the update for this > latest one. > I have no way of knowing who those messages came from. > Jeff Thanks Jeff & Clint. I know vir** and wor*s.. now, are a part of "life on the computer". I guess I've been lucky up until now.. I've also gotten that 'dreaded blue screen.'. and when that happens.. I just reboot.. I used to get so terribly scared.. afraid, my whole system would crash.. until I learned that was a 'fact of life'.. and it will happen for no reason - When I got this computer, over 4 years ago. I had gotten it from Gateway.. and the system "crashed".. and they had me re-install everything.. when all that was needed..was just to reboot.. Live and learn.. But I didnt' know any better than. and thought - they- the experts.. would help me.. I had to reinstall Windows 98.. as well as Netscape at that time..
