Guest guest Posted December 20, 2001 Report Share Posted December 20, 2001 Dear valued jyotishis, Please check out virus definitions on the Web (www.Symantec.com or www.mcaffee.com) before sending email warnings about a virus. You may have gotten email about a supposed virus from a well-intentioned (but unwitting participant) in a virus hoax. The hoax gets nine lives by being forwarded to others without ever being checked out. By the way, I to online virus protection service (it's cheap enough, considering the alternative) which updates virus protection each day. Once a virus program is found, the online service writes code to isolate it and prevent my computer from getting infected. The only time this fails is when a virus is so new that anti-virus code hasn't yet been written --but rest assured it will be written within hours of the first detection of the virus. In the case of Sulfnbk.exe, that's a very old hoax. Deleting the file will not help. You need to copy this file back to your computer. Go to another computer and ask for a copy of this file and restore it again. Sincerely, Carol Hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 21, 2001 Report Share Posted December 21, 2001 Dear Cynthia, Please don't worry about this..it's an educational experience for many people. Thanks for your ongoing discussions of nakshatras, which are fascinating. My son has Hasta asc. and has bitten his nails since he was a baby...there's that "hand" influence...he likes to drum his fingers, too. Best wishes, Carol Hook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
