Jean in Newbury Jean and the spiders, Last week I was sending emails direct from aol (rather than from my account by via the web) - and I kept being told that my email was taking too long to send. Suddenly this just stopped I was led to believe that there was too much traffic at that one time, so now I tend to go on line when it's more quite - it also stops mum and dad moaning about me being on the phone all evening.

Re: [lace-chat] viruses
We have been having problems with viruses, yes we do have a virus checker, I always update before I even download. Whatever you do, DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENTS THAT COME WITH THE MESSAGES. It looks like about half come from Microsoft (NOT), telling you to update, and giving the link, and the other half are notifications that a message could not be delivered to whatever address. Make sure your antivirus program is up to date, if you use Windows, find the Windows Update button on your system (stalled when you installed Windows) and make sure all the critical updates are in place, and again, DO NOT OPEN ANY ATTACHMENTS. Microsoft does not send their stuff out - you have to go to their website to get it! If you get an attachment from someone you know, save it to your hard drive, and have your virus scanner check it out. Or send an email to the sender, asking if they intended to send you an attachment. If it proves to be a virus, it might be an idea to inform the sender (nicely ;-) ) that their system might be infected If *everybody* would keep to these simple rules, virus infections would soon be drastically reduced Keep dreaming, Esther ;-((( OK, I 'm off to kill a few more messages with virus attached, they're arriving by the score (more than 300 in the last three days) Greetings from Beautiful British Columbia Esther Perry To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
