[R-390] VIRUS !?!?

[Ed Tanton]

Email viruses (virii?) seem to come in separate (by indeterminate 
timeframes) 'waves' of virus-laden emails... this past week having been yet 
another round. While there's been only ONE Norton AV Virus Definition 
update this week, I've seen weeks where there was one per day (and a one 
day record of 2!) Although that is only an indicator of 'new' virus 
configurations, and not necessarily proof of higher activity. Norton AV 
detected 5 or 6 virus-laden emails yesterday alone (or more-I stopped 
counting somewhere in there). I have personally taken to running a complete 
HDD virus-scan at least once daily.

P.S. Number 1 son Rusty has taken to a 100% LINUX environment... but 
personally, I cannot: 1) FrontPage 2002 for my website; 2) Photoshop 6; and 
3) the entire ULEAD series of Graphics-related programs; and 4) EUDORA... 
plus others I have not thought of.
