I am ashamed to say that I have been running my computer without virus protection for the past 3 years. By the way, you can't just say that you will not open any attachments that have an underline in the address, because the email that gave it to me did not have this give-away feature. My email attachment (that I opened) had in the title (0 bytes), but I was silly enough to open it anyway, because it came from someone I know.
I ran FSAV virus program (downloaded) and then Norton virus scan, and I probably removed two different versions of the Badtrans.B virus. On good advice, I will be running McAfee Virus scan from now on (19.99 after rebate).
Please don't open any emails from me (Garth Libre) dated before December 3rd. I want to be sure that I wont be causing any further problems for list members.
This very bad virus records all your key strokes, requiring you to change all your passwords to prevent being robbed blind. Please take all possible precautions to avoid being the next victim. Sorry to have hurt my friends, I am Garth Libre in a saddened South Florida without George Harrison.
