Keith... Don't get p---ed off at the VFB. It is nearly impossible for a virus to be transmitted through the VFB List. There is a very restrictive size limit set on all postings and only messages from properly subscribed members can get through. Your email addy has, as has been most everyone's, been added to the ever expansive spam lists. I get tons of unsolicited email each day...including many virus messages. The only plan of attack is to completely ignore them and never open any mail sent by someone that you are not familiar with. Plus don't ever open any attachments from ANYONE, even if you know them, unless you are absolutely certain the attachments are harmless. This is a lesson that we should ALL now be quite familiar with. Of course the easiest solution is to just get a Mac...;^)) keep tyin'...byard Byard Miller Line's End Inc <http://www.linesend.com> Virtual Flybox <http://www.virtualflybox.com>
