Sorry to hear about your problem. It has not happened to me yet.

My computer geek kids run programs such as

Spybot—Search and Destroy and several others

through my computer every now and then to clean up the viruses and worms. You can download them if you know what

you are looking for. One of my sons

is an IT tech and says they work pretty well. He also said that the really good

hackers like to write programs that disguise themselves and hide in the

programs in the computers that they infect. Then you have to actually find the

program and delete it. The virus

that crashed your computer may not have infected it on the same day. All in all, there are programs that you

can use in addition to your virus protection to help keep your computer

operating well. I don’t

understand all the technical stuff but sort of understand the principles. Hope this might help in the future.

I just wanted to let everyone know, that ten days ago

I downloaded something

that caused my computer to go crazy. Then I got a

black screen with the words

in the upper corner, " windows protection

error " and some numbers. My two so

called computer " experts " could not get

into the computer for me or figure out

the problem. I then had it picked up by a repair

company and they had to clean

everything from the computer. The diagnosis was

" some kind of virus or worm or

whatever " this despite that fact

that the only mail that I downloaded the

morning this happened, was two Aol messages and

the mail from this website. I

was told that even although I have virus

protection of my computer, it is

even possible for somebody to go on sending out an

attachment without the sender

being aware of the problem. Please let me

know if any of you have had this

happen to you ? Thanks. in Ca.
