What's EdNew
~~~~~~~~~~~~
There have been a lot of stories lately about Internet viruses
so I thought I would share with you my loyal readers some
excellent resources to better understand and protect yourself and
the Internet community from this scourge. Although the threat
from real viruses is serious enough the on-going nuisance and
unwitting frightening of "newbies" with hoaxes is almost as bad.
There usually isn't a week goes by when I don't receive several
such "dire" warnings.
Before you pass along to all your email contacts the latest dire
Internet virus - check-out one of these resources:
Symantec Antivirus Research Center
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/index.html
Mcafee Virus Information Center
http://vil.mcafee.com/villib/alpha.asp
If you don't already have virus software protection here's a
solid FREE download from Computer Associates ~ Inoculate IT
Personal Edition

Also you can get a free online virus scan of your computer from
