Still learning---Eleanor > Eleanor, You only get a notification if you have virus software loaded and running. If you do not have such, you should get it ASAP. The two best ones are Norton Anti-Virus ad McAfee Viruscan. I prefer the former. Once you have it, you need to run it all the time and log on to their Web Sites every 1-2 weeks and download the updates. It is a bit of a pain, but it as become a necessity these days if one is on the Internet. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A. Fink, M. D., F.A.C.S., P.
