Dear Stephen
Many thanks for your helpful and wise advice. I am, daily, inundated with
the most frightening virus alerts and what to do about the problem. Your
message has calmed me on this one.
Regards
Gerald

problems for a couple of days in any and all relations with internal and
external servers. They are usually fixed by processes well beyond my
competence. If I understood them, I would probably worry.

crop of viruses (more accurately "worms"), have caused enough problems to
even get the mass media interested. My advice to you remains as before:
>Do not send attachments other than by pre-arrangement to individuals or
small groups.
>Do not open attachments unless they have been sent to you by
pre-arrangement from someone you trust. Delete any such items unread.
>Do not pass on virus warnings. They are usually hoaxes. The industry is
very good at informing users of real risks.
