So if any of you got hit with a worm from my computer - I apologize. Such is the pernicious nature of this rather insipient worm... http://www.flowgo.com/flowgo2_view.cfm?page_id=64665 -------------------- RPG Anne O'Calahan

Since most of the viruses are PC-based, Macs are immune to them ! -------------------- Mike F. May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you.

If they're gonna spam me, I'll fight fire with fire .

No worries from CelticRadio.net since we are using Linux and it is virtually impossible for a virus to effect a linux system. I think there are only 3-4 known linux virus. -------------------- Celtic Radio DJ http://www.CelticRadio.net Celtic Radio Music Network

Yeah, I checked Symantec's website and they said the worm only affected Microsoft OS's.

I think there's even less viruses for Mac

. Two reasons: 1. There are far more PC users, hence the greater chance for trouble, and 2. Apple does a really good job at squashing little bugs before they become big problems. I check religiously to see if they have any security patches. If they do, that means that they've found a bug.
