Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 I got the virus too. I tried to follow the directions posted by Randee and managed to quarrantine the virus and fix my run line. I don't know how to delete the virus though. Anyone know how to do that? Phyllis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2001 Report Share Posted July 29, 2001 I received another message from June this evening with an attachment on it. My computer said it had a virus so if anybody else receives it, do not open the attachment. It comes though like a resume. Marilyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
