Microsoft has a web site that explains all the hassle
they have been thru... I got those mailings and raised
particular Hell with them... before I knew it was virus.
www.Microsoft.com will explain alot of the problem
to you.

This original message is nothing but newsgroup spam - by clicking that link
you help the spammer sign up people for some contest or something.
rant
I have no sympathy for people who get a virus anymore. It takes so little
time to keep your products updated. Most virus' are written to affect the
Outlook Express email program - you can avoid a virus all together by using
a different program like Eudora or Netscape (or if you have CompuServe or
(gasp) aol the virus won't affect you if you open the email). Also you can
set your settings to not run scripts and, most importantly, update your
s/ware all the time. Most, not all, virus' are written to effect loop holes
/rant
I, personally, use EZ Trust Anti-Virus (I think www.etrust.com is the
website). Free updates, I think I pay like 10-20 bucks per year to keep the
license up to date - the program kicks @ss.

I'd like to add my admiration for EZ Trust as well. It is affordable, easy
to use, and during "virus season" it is often updated 3 times A DAY. They
are highly recommended by PC Computing magazine. I've been using it for
years. It is excellent. Anyone who thinks he or she can dodge the virus
bullet and won't shell out for protection in this day and age is foolish
indeed.

I dont use any virus protection at all. I use eudora, zone alarm, and mailwasher. I
dont open attachments. I have blocked access to my DH and dont have any viruses.
