Subject:      about the virus thing (no Van)

Just a side note...the Happy99 virus is more than a year old, and will be
out there for a long time. If you click on the .exe file, you get to see a
meaningless fireworks display. The virus then replicates and sends itself
to everyone in your address book. Ugh.

Here is the answer to Happy99 and all the others. If you don't already have
it, get virus protection and a "subscription" to updates. It is cheap (some
is shareware or freeware). Most virus-protection companies update virus
signatures weekly, or more frequently. Some virus software can be
configured to download/install the updates on a schedule. It is the only
way to stay ahead of the zit-faced maniacal morons who create viruses.

Prophylactics that the clergy can't get upset about,
