Short time ago had high speed internet installed, and on turn - on, a virus
appeared. ( Magistr. ) Same one you mention. Being as I'm on the list, I suppose
it could have been one of our members, but now I have Norton
anti virus  installed. Hopefully this won't happen again, as I lost much
info., including E addresses. Always someone out there who delights in causing
problems for people he/she doesn't even know. These are the same
kind of people who walk around late at night and break car antennas. Great
fun?!??!  Too much time on their hands. Should take piano lessons. Would
be good for them and us. Theory is, that music study improves the brain, and
these people certainly need to improve.

Happy New Year!!
