virus i got from ammo company

Anyone that reloads for handguns has probably heard of starline brass! Well the other day I sent them an email to see if they made nickel brass for my 454 casull it took about a week before I heard back from them, but when I did the email had a virus on it that was called a Trojan horse but luckily I had just up dated my virus protection so watch out!

I wouldn't blame Starline to much for this. Remember the infamous 'ILUVYOU' virus that shut down so many systems a little over a week ago.

But, all the more reason to keep your anti-virus programs updated on a regular basis.

Oh, and the possibility of a virus is one of the reasons that attachments are not allowed in the rec.hunting group/email list.

Just get a Mac, you won't have those problems. (most anyway)

Be careful of the new trojans that don't require an attachment. A couple of weeks ago I got the 'kak.worm' from someone. It runs itself even if ALL you do is view the message in the Preview Pane of Outlook or Outlook Express. It overwrites your signature file with the virus. Current versions of McAfee and Norton get rid of it but watch out.

I got rid of my mac because I got tired of the limited variety of software

If you couldn't find 'enough' Mac software, you should have looked farther than Wal*Mart. There is just as much Mac software available as Windozz stuff, not counting games (which don't count as real software anyway).

Mac viruses? I can count them on one hand. PC viruses ... common as roaches. In our office, I had to let everybody read their e-mail on my Mac when the I Love You virus was running amok.
