E-Mail Virus and GFY:

Does anyone think that being a member of this board is connected with the rash of E-mail viruses being received daily?

I have put some thought into this and having been online even before there was an internet (remember the days of the old Bulletin Board Systems) I can't recall having received an E-mail virus (maybe I did and just forgot) untill I became a member of this board.

Now (like many of you) I receive E-mail virus's everyday.

Is there anyone that is working on putting a stop to these viruses. Is there anyway to put a stop to these viruses?

I have never been infected (well with a trojan once) because I do not open attachments and Norton Anti Virus 2002 seems to work well, but it is irritating to receive them daily and the number seems to be growing.

If some techie wizz kid could put a stop to them it would be a service that I would pay a reasonable amount, just to stop the irritation.

Anyone have some input on this subject?
