I just received an email from "JSmith " with a subject line of "1999 Free Republic, LLC"
There is a virus attached.
Do not open it!
Mike
1). Get a hardware firewall, something like Linksys, if using cable modem -or- software firewall like Zonealarm, if using dial up
2). Use Norton (or McAfee)
3). Never open email from an unknown source. Just delete it.
4). If you really want some added security, get a copy of Norton Ghost. You can image your OS and all apps to CD or a server. Get a separate HD for your data. And keep your OS and apps on another.
I've never had a virus or suffered a hack.
