Could someone clarify? I'm new to this subject. I'm getting the same listserv mail that others subscribers get, but I don't know that I've ever received a virus or worm. Does antivirus software usually tell you when a virus or worm is detected? I installed a copy of Norton AntiVirus2000 version 6 last week and I usually have it on "Auto-Protect" while reading email. I also do periodic scans of my computer. So does anyone know why my antivirus software hasn't notified me about a worm or virus while others on the listserv have gotten such notices? Thanks.
