"has the moment that we've all been waiting for arrived...the moment wherein one may get a virus simply by reading an email?"

i quote this excerpt from the most recent (5/8) langalist...

"While there are email worms/viruses that auto-run, the Love Bug (and
its clones and knock-offs) aren't like that: *You have to click on
the attachment* to make anything happen."


in addition, if you wish to read more on the subject (and hopefully obtain some degree of enlightenment in the process), <g3> visit the 'computer learning' thread, where the subject seems to pop up from time to time. here is a recent post (and you can follow the threads) that i found interesting and helpful. #reply-13597867

and finally, here's a link to the above-mentioned langalist, in case you don't have it already

langa.com

hope this helps

:)
