FYI, I just noticed that Private Messages have been disabled on this forum. I wonder why...?

to stop spam perhaps!

David,
My firewall has intercepted several worm attacks recently (last one "sober.s.)" And, of course, the pest who was advertising his web site...

David,
The virus/worm sober.s, is sent sometimes set via email that says "Your account has been blocked" or "click here to get your new password," etc. I hope that you have a firewall installed...
