[RTTY] This seems important - more on virus

[Jerry Flanders]

You have overlooked the obvious - it is actually a plot by QualComm to sell 
more copies of Eudora email client. I have used Eudora for years and have 
never yet picked up a virus or worm that I couldn't immediately identify as 
such and thus avoid.

As I understand it (and I am not an expert on modern MS software) the usual 
parasitics are meant to attack weak points in the primary email reader, 
Outlook Express. Use something else, turn off automatic execution of 
incoming email code (MAPI??) and you are relatively safe. At least, it 
seems to be working for me.

Norton antirirus stuff came free with my new HP pentium 4 computer, but 
locks up the computer 2-3 times per day. I had to remove it.
