Here at the computing center for shock and alarm, we get deluged with email asking us how to spell "deluge," along with offers for free gas, various 'enhancements' and SPAM. As for the latter, I hope you don't have M$ Windows on your computer!

It's w32.novarg.a@mm, aka MYDOOM! It's kinda funny, but in a bizarre sorta way.

Gee. It's hard to be both anit Sun and anti-MyDOOM...

Anyone know of a good free antivirus program. I recently deleted winzip, norton antivirus, and a few other porated apps. I need to replace my antivirus with something tho. Any suggestions?

Get AVG virus checker -- it's completely free.

Sound advice. Here's an 80's "heath announcement" ...

If you have to use Windows, at LEAST get a virus checker.
