AOL has a featured front-page informative piece on the Melissa virus, what and
how it infects, and how to protect against it, Pat. Thanks for this heads-up.
I don't use MS Word and it seems to "aim" for that application and things that
run within it. As a medical transcriptionist, I've always found WordPerfect
more suited to my work, and right now, I'm kinda glad, LOL.

As always, the bottom line is "don't download attached files" and that seems
always to be the simplest and safest line to follow. :)

disable that function. >>
