I opened an e-mail from someone I didn't know, and it disabled my Norton Internet Security, blew away a bunch of Windows 98 files- it took me a couple of days to fix everything. So beware, y'll…

Some trojan's are good (condoms :P), some are increadibly evil. And that virus you mentioned, Idjit, is one hell of a fiesty one. I'm truely sorry for you loss, and thanks for the warning. By the way, I guess you don't know what it was called, eh?

No, and it wasn't in Symantec's updated virus library either. It went right through Sasktel's virus software, and then Symantec's. It had something about 'Bivouac' in the message, and just 'hi' in the subject. I can't remember who it was from- it was just someone's name. I answer a lot of e-mails with questions about the site, so I just thought it was one of them.

well J-Lynn, I personally use aspirin. you keep it between your knees and under no circumstances do you let it fall.

Aspirin works? I didn't know that ..lol

Idjit, I am sorry about your virus. That is really a nasty one.
You could set up a seperate e-mail address for the site in yahoo or hotmail. Then you would know that only mail from members get there and when there is mail from somebody that you don't know in your regular inbox, you could just delete it to avoid a virus like that again. Just an idea.

Idjit, Idjit, Idjit…

I came across a picture… (well actually Sweetie sent it to me, as she was too chicken to post it)… and she felt it was appropriate for this thread… and I have to agree with her…

For Idjit

Well, ahem… (blush);
With as many bills as I enter, I'm sure I would go broke buying this kind of protection…
