Hi Claudia,
The ISP has a fine set of filters (they grab baddies, scour them
down, and send me notice that they 've sequestered-) and I have gool '
ol ' Norton and Virex which are fairly current, but I will check out
MailWasher--even on OS 9 and using an e-mailer that opens nothing
automatically there can 't be too many virus sniffers. Thank you!
As far as I know none of the current viruses/worms/nastinesses(huh?)
can be passed Windows- >Mac- >Windows, but I don 't wanna be the
guinea-pig on that one when someone decides there are still enough
Mac users to wreak a little havoc with.
There 's a sparrow nesting in the downspout-elbow over my front door
Cheers!
Cecilia
