Just on the side of other issues...

Just read that the author of the virus Melissa that ran rampant a year
or two back, was busted and is serving 20 years in prison. He was from
the North Eastern US..

Good to know that at least one of these jerks got his just deserts.

I dont know about the USA right now.. but here in Europe Klez is all
over the place. It carries an attachment of around 125 - 130 KB.  Random
subject matter... like... "Leave this Here !" and "Hello, an
introduction to Aids"... and can seep through Norton 2001.

If you get hit, check, double check and triple check your puter to make
sure you are rid of it.

One last point... www.lavasoft.de    will take you to a site you can
download a program called ad-aware. It checks your system and weeds out
any and all advertising trojans present on your system. You may be
shocked to see how many folks are "spying" on your net habits, and how
much it can slow down your system. My son is a bit careless with his net
use and had 279 such "harmless" trojans on his machine.....  crazy.

Cheers !
