From: To: Date: Fri 21 Sep 2001 19:57:44 EDT ================================================ Okay, here's another sign of my ignorance: I have a virus scanner on my PC, but not on my new laptop. I don't think...is there a chance there's a program already on here? I think my brother put one on the PC, otherwise I don't know how it got there. Any chance I could get a link for one?

Apparently the computer starts to bog down and run a little strange... my best suggestion is the one I'm sticking to... just keep the virus datafiles up to date, and keep your virus scanner running. This one virus (Nimda) has infected over 250,000 computers Worldwide this past week and a half... this by far makes it among the most widely spread and fastest-acting virii out there... so keep a heads up for it. The second most infectious virus out there at the moment is the SirCam virus, with 4200 worldwide reports of infected computers... so there's just a slight difference. >>
