Thanks Matt. I'm prepared. Read a lot of the Dune series. Know where those big worms hide.
Only thing MSN sent me today was something about wanting to see 20 Brunettes. They forgot about number 21 standing next to me. That one wouldn't give the dang credit card number again.

You can read about this virus at: http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99184& It's one of those w32/Choke..worms. Fortunately, it's fixable.

More information on choking worms here. Any of that wildfire stuff bothering you and Pat? http://www.uib.no/isf/surprise.htm

John -
Thanks for the other "source". http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif No, fortunately the fires in the news are still far enough away that they have no affect. We do get several fires a year, however, that do affect the area. One, this past Sunday burnt about 1000 acres and was on both sides of the main road out of here, so traffic was stopped for about 4 hours. Other than that, there have been no problems this year.

EDITED PART ******

Ooops - Just heard on the local radio station that another fire is burning about a mile from here.

Just for reference guys, never open ANY file in an email, or msn, or whatever, that ends in .exe, .com, .bat, or .vbs.

Many times they will try to trick you by naming a file something like pic1.jpg.exe

THIS IS STILL AN EXE file. The last extension is the ONLY one that matters.

The only files you should ever open are ones that end in .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .bmp, .mpeg, .avi, or .mp3.

There's a couple more that are safe, but ONLY open files that are multimedia like the above. NEVER open an executable file.

Or .PIF I have seen several attachments being passed around by the Sircam Virus with the pif extension.

Just an FYI, I've heard of Viruses in MP3's JPG's and TIF's most of them are embedded They are very rare, but do exist...
