Great information. I use most of this, but it's nice to have it all on one site.

FYI, Kim!

Very good list!

Here's some notes from a radio show
on the virus...

1) Use a good Anti-Virus program
-Norton 2003 is the best, Free download or buy the better versionfor 49.95 online

McAffee is good too. (per the radio host)

2)Keep the Virus Program updated. Weekly or daily.
(this is something I haven't done)

3) You need a firewall to keep the worms out, they
try to attack vulnerable ports.

Good firewalls: Black Ice and Zone Alarm

Go to http://www.zonelabs.com for a free download or
upgrade to zone alarm pro.

Question: I want to stop all those spam e-mails, most of which now contain the Sobig worm. I would like to stop them even if they were not infected. My Norton is catching them, but it's driving me crazy quarantineing them. 151 today so far. I started to down load the Mailwasher, but it told me that it could harm my computer, so I'm leery of it. I have MSXP. Is it safe to download that free Mailwasher?

ShieldsUp said I failed the ping test.

Anyone know how I can turn PING off on my machine?

Thank you! Yesterday I rec'd 17, today I've rec'd over 65 spam mail trying to send me the Sobig Worm. What's scary is that if I'm sending email I've got to do it ASAP because while I have my email program running here comes in one of those Sobig Worm email. It's been a fretful day. Mailwasher program has been working overtime bouncing and deleting.
