I got the same one on tongue tie from Catherine as well!   I'd like to make
one addendum to what Elizabeth shared yesterday -- you do not have to have a
virus to have the viral message sent out under your name.  If your e-mail
address is in anyone's address book -- if THEY are infected, the virus can
then send things out in your name.

I got one sent out in my name yesterday; was notified by Norton's that it had
happened.  Immediately scanned my entire computer (took 35 minutes) and came
up squeaky clean.  The point is, my e-mail address is in an infected person's
address book -- so now a virus can be sent out in my name.

So -- the point of this is, don't assume that if you get a goofy
message/virus from someone that they themselves are infected.  It's a good
thing to notify them (especially if you know them) so they can scan their
computers, but it may not be them.

Jan in Wheaton -- wondering where her e-mail address is, and what messages
are going to be sent out in her name.
