LMAO...I went looking for a new virus that will make you sick.
Must be the nurse in me combined with the fact that I am computer illiterate.

Thanks. Norton updated itself this past weekend and not a moment too soon. I got an e-mail yesterday and Norton detected the Bugbear virus in it. You can't be too careful.

I just got something in my Hotmail account about "your order status" Niether DH or I recognize the sender.

Now I'm in a quandry. I want to know if there is an order out there that a)one of us forgot about or b)someone has placed an order without my permission.

More than likely it is "a" but DH is the technowizard that keeps the systems safe and he will address it soon.

Thanks for the heads up, Dan!

We now get bugbear several times a day. I used to panic about getting a virus but this has cured me - gotta love Norton!
