That is what was so frustrating to me the email that I opened that had the
virus with it, the subject line was Adams County Researcher Needed, in this
case it would not have made a difference with the virus scan updated or not
I had McAfee 6.0 and it will not catch it. I know someone who updates it
everyday and they got the virus and they don't know where they got it from.
I installed Norton 2001 tonight and am 99.9% sure it is completely gone,
waiting for a final scan to be sure. Thanks for the encouragement, and I'll
stay on because I LOVE GENEAOLOGY and believe me if I ever catch the people
who are inventing these viruses, well I'll be like Bush is about Bin Laden.
I've lost three full days of productivity, been very frustrated, upset and
shed a lot of tears over this stupid virus. R
