Robert I have cleaned kak worm off my system - i got it from another user PLEASE DONT MAKE SWEEPING COMMENTS Viruses are an unfortunate fact of the net and if you had read my previous mails on this subject you would be aware that i have tried warning people to clean their system and the only response i received was from another list member that she doubted that i picked the virus up from a list member. My system is reporting clean after i cleaned it today for the 4th time of being infcetd from reading a mail off the list. Yes it is frustrating and a little time consuming but in a large list as ours is a probability rather than a possibility. Should you become infected again please let me know [log in to unmask] For any one on the list who does not have av software it is available as free download fron Computer Associates I found it searching on ZD.net Parkinson sufferers have enought to cope with without members of the list making sweeping statements about being unsubscribed. I am computer literate but many are not and as such would be very concerned that such could happen. Please in future offer some solutions such as where AV software can be scourced or offer to provide some positive help in how the virus problem on their machine can be cured Thank you N hazeltine -----Original Message----- From: Robert A.

The people transmitting it were "Barry Black" and "N. Hazeltine". These folks are porobably not aware of the fact that the virus has infected their systems. I would ask that these people get their systems cleaned and immediately stop postiung until the cleaning is completed. Otherwise, Barbara, I would ask that they be immediately unsubscribed, as many on this List do not have anti-virus software. Best, Bob ********************************************** Robert A.
