Isn't the best thing to dump all the affected files after making sure they are clean and reformat the hard drive? I never download off of any site that isnt a well known site as msn or yahoo links. I delete any files that are not from known friends and any email is monitored by my isp and mcafee virus scanner..It is important to have a regular schedule to upgrade any software you use and to scan regularily all files too.. I have my fingers crossed most of the time because others arent as careful as I am...:) ----- Original Message ----- From: janet marie paterson <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2000 8:07 AM Subject: VIRUS ALERT!
