Subject: MtMan-List: virus gone
As many of you know, my supposed bad boy McAfee virus scan (updated daily)
missed the Badtrans virus and my computer forwarded the sumbitch to
everybody on my address file. That is a lot of folks.....including many
members of this list. It's too bad that some folks have nothing better to
do than try to mess with other people's stuff....and in this case, try to
steal from them.
We fired McAfee and hired Norton. Goodwife spent most of today installing
the new hired gun and cleaning up the computer. Norton rooted out several
little hidden beasties and either fixed them or quarantined them so,
HOPEFULLY, my email will be safe.
I'm sorry for any inconvenience this caused. Maybe Norton will be a better
protector. That and I will be even more vigilant with my inbox. I
routinely see posts with what I sense is a virus infected attachment and
dump it asap, but I got this from a cousin whose email is nearly always odd
and I opened it. Dumbass.
Anybody who wants me to open an attachment needs to notify me in a separate
post (or phone call). Otherwise I ain't opening it. Pinkie swear.

Lanney,
I have been on this darned thing all night updating and trying to get rid of three diff. viruses. I do not think it is just this site as it seems to be running all over the net.
Let us know how Norton works, I finally got the Mcafee to work and ended up with 110 files infected with one major file which means I have to use an email through the springmail site. Can not do much without an sicexe file.
Glad my muzzleloader is not this complicated.
