Just have got to remember that these programs are working in "History" and not a concept. So , when a Virus makes it's rounds ; it will get a number of folks until the Programmers of such gets wind of it and writes a 'trap' for it , then a recovery later on. It depends on the speed of everything as how many it gets. Did get that latest virus about 6-7 times and into the 'bin' it goes without a second though. Name ? Forget it , it has so many different names on the 'attachment'. Been lucky so far , I use hard-headed common sense ( or is it uncommon ? ) and never open any attachment that I don't know the Name , Rank , Serial Number , and his Momma. After all of the "Hoopla" about that 'stuff' I am amazed that anybody with a wee bit of experience and has the mentality of a Daft Idiot would even open it ! BTW , no anti-virus here ( knock-knock on wood ). Best: Eugene
