Re: VIRUS WARNING !!!!!!!!!!
Howdy Folks By the sounds of it, Connie needs to get an AntiVirus disc (like Norton) - cause her computer is probably infected (without her knowing) - that is how the Virus spreads - they get into one computer and then attach themselves to outgoing e-mails without the sender knowing!! If I'm not mistaken the "Samsung.exe" is a worm Virus and it will just keep digging deeper into her system. I had a similar experience about 6 months ago with another worm Virus called "happy 99".
