Hello All, This is not a joke - please pay attention folks!! My Security Dept. just called me to tell me that my computer was just now infected by a new virus that I picked up while on this board (they scan our computers constantly). I have the latest version of MacAfe Virus Scan (among others) and it didn't grab it, so it's new. Now they're going to have to completely back up everything, a complete head to tail scan, and put everything not infected back on. Since this was the only site that I visited today, it must be from this one - so please download new virus scans and run it ASAP!!! Good luck, it seems to be nasty one!! Cynthia

    Update to computer virus

    Hello again, Well, the security folks confiscated my computer. Now I have a loaner while the other one is being wiped clean which will take three days. :-( The GOOD news, is that they found that the virus attacked after I checked the local weather this morning (had forgotten about that one.) So, all appears to be well on this site! :-) (I guess I shouldn't log in from work anymore, huh?) ;-) Have a good day everyone. Cynthia
