btw, regarding your comments... "Received two e-mails from a trusted FRIEND, (i thought)"....

let me say that those are the old rules. the real old rules. trust and friendship often have little to do with viruses spreading via email. most worms are designed to mail themselves to everybody in an address book. and therein lies their maliciousness. the recipients say, "oh, this is from jw, he's a trusted friend", when in fact, not only did you not send the email, but you had no idea what was going on.

on that note, though, one might make a case for owing it to your friends to have antivirus software.

you're welcome for the encouragement.

:)
