Subject: RE: Virus Alert Please Read
Awhile back I got hit and was hitting folks with the kak worm. I couldn't understand until I worked with the Symantec Help group. They analyzed my stuff and it turned out to be a defective Disc. I downloaded a new program from their site free of charge and and have been a happy camper since. Symantec/Norton is generally pretty quick with the calls and the fixes (or quarrantines) and they were great to work with.

I agree about Outlook, but I also killed the features and ise it in text only. I download definitions once a week and also have the auto-scan set up for every Friday. With the amount of crappola out there, it seems prudent and really takes very little time. I suppose I should go to another ptogram like Eudora, but............

Since the Norton has been up properly, I've had no problems and it's nailed quite a few incoming problems including internet site problems where it will close down the offending site. Great company.
