Virus - Prevention - Protection - Cleanup

The only way to get a computer virus is to download an infected, executable file (like .EXE or .COM) and then run it; or use an infected boot up disk. "A virus CAN NOT be spread to your computer from merely opening your e-mail... but BEWARE of the attachment files." -- And that WAS TRUE until someone dug a tunnel into Microsoft's E-mail program. If you use Microsoft Outlook (or Outlook Express) with Internet Explorer, you need to stay alert of the viruses that are popping up.

For more Microsoft virus information check their Security Advisor Bulletin. You can signup for their free security bulletins if you want them sent to you.
