Look in emails for those statements  in red.   Virus will be in Yellowish Orange.   Comments to the bad person who tried to send me one are in light blue.

Comments by Billy Thomas to the person who tried it. "Nice try whoever you are, you failed  :)  My antivirus caught it and removed it before any damage was done. "

This virus was discovered last Tuesday, 7-17-01.  It started hitting people
in our area on Thursday night.  Once it infects a PC, it attaches itself to
a personal document created by the user and sends itself out to any email
address it can find on the pc, not just the address book.

To protect yourself, you should have an updated version of an Anti-Virus
software running on your pc.  If you have an Anti-Virus software on your pc
and it didn't detect it, then it has not been updated recently.  Here are a
few web-sites from Anti-Virus software makers:

Norton's 2001  http://www.symantec.com/

McAfee   http://www.atomictime.net/antivirus.html

PC Cillin  http://www.touchstonesoftware.com/

You should also be able to find Anti-Virus software at the local department
stores, office supply stores, or electronics stores in Glasgow & Bowling
Green.  A good rule of them is to never open an email attachment unless you
are 100% sure of what it is and who it's coming from.  It has infected a
lot of people because the email they receive appears to be from someone
they recognize.

We are also posting this information on our web-site.  If you need further
