Normally no harm will occur from just READING an e-mail - but never open an Attachment sent by someone you don't know - that is where most virii come from, not the e-mail itself. >Is there any way for > me to tell if I infected my computer? If you did "infect" it a whole range of things can happen, all the way from cute notes popping up to the loss of programs, or the total loss of everything on your hard drive. >I have no Virus detection software ... Well if you have a Pee Cee and no operating virus protection it is just a matter of time before you get got. Even MAC owners should have something running that is current. I update Virex monthly. >and the last virus software I used > actullay (sic) created a virus when I installed the > software. I find that hard to believe of any commercial virus protection software on the market, - how long do you think they would remain in business? I'll bet that you downloaded a piece of Freeware you happened to find. Jack P.S. Without virus protection software, how did you get rid of the "virus"?
