Well, it looks like the ten year olds are ahead of me again! The little virus stopping trick I passed along only works if the virus attempts to send to all addresses in your address book. Apparently most modern viruses don't work like that. I agree that using such a simple trick as your only virus protection would be very dangerous. I apologize if I led anybody to believe that this was a substitute for a good anti-virus program. I'll sure be happy when the weather lets me leave the computer in my wake (so to speak). Mark Dvorscak
