Hi Marjorie, I have all the new security patches for Outlook Express and am alerted to all new Windows 98 updates. I run 2 virus scans now and the AKA has been stopped, yet in 2 days two episodes of the virus have come from the list. One just arrived again. It seems to me that those who aren't keeping up-todate scans should try to fix the problem that is affecting the list. Until then, the virus will continue to be sent until it runs its course. It is aggravating for someone who lives alone and has little help to figure out or fix the problems that arise with this kind of thing. It is because of this problem that the pwp I know left the list. He should be on it rather than me but he doesn't intend to put up with constant viruses he told me. You know how stubborn men can be and should I say he is one stubborn aussie guy? *seattle* audrey friend of pwp aussie John 49/42/38
