I don't understand a word that you said, JCJ, but I'll copy your message and give it to Mr. Mephisto. I'm not sure exactly what he does. He runs Solaris for himself and it has never crashed since he installed it. Butt he has to send Word documents to everyone else because, as you know, MSFT has a monopoly so everyone else runs Windows on their PC, unless they have a MAC. (We don't want to forget about those folks. They might get angry) (gg). Best wishes, Mephisto

He knows Solaris didn't send a virus to anyone. He downloaded the Windows document onto the home PC this morning and he was told there was a virus, an ordinary Windows macro virus (I believe that is what he called it). The document is "years old" so this virus could have been in the document for years. He only installed Solaris in September. But he also agrees that it could be a fase positive virus. He will look into it when he finishes his current project. Thanks for the help! Cheers, Mephisto
