Dealing with viruses

[Julie Hotard]

Hi, Folks

Here's a way to keep from getting viruses.  
If you have Outlook Express e-mail, which most
virus attachments target, you can click on View, 
then click on Layout, then remove the check from 
the box that says "Show preview pane."  
Then your messages will not automatically open 
when you go to your mail box.  You will have to 
double click on the message in order to open it.  
So any message with an attachment, you can just 
drag to your Deleted Items box without opening it.  

After receiving 3 different viruses yesterday, I
think I may decide that no attachment is 
important enough for me to open.  If I didn't 
have good anti-virus software, I wouldn't be
able to send this message to you today; I'd 
still be trying to fix the viruses.   

Also, if you do have anti-virus software, update
it immediately, and perhaps every few days
afterward, as new viruses keep being invented.
