VIRUS ALERT!!! Re: Here you have, ;o)

[Tom Vandervoort]

Dan: This incident has taught me to carefully check attachments even from
trusted sources (which this was).  What was interesting to me was that
Norton didn't catch it.  My computer guru is now about to install additional
software and probably a firewall to protect my systems.  It's been a good
learning experience, esp learning about how to id "vbs" files.

Actually Bob, the virus was caught and cleaned by the Trend Micro
software running on audifans.  Since installing it, it has caught every
virus it has come across.
