Subject: RE: [kl] Virus warning

Marks right on here about up to date detectors. I had one of the most
highly reccommended detector ( one of those freebees) offered on the web and
then got hit with a big virus last year. I had to take my "box" down to the
shop and have it debugged and then I installed the Norton 2002 setup. It
scans incomming AND outgoing stuff. However I hear there are some new
viruses that can find a way around this system too, so up date!
