yes ...the latest viruses simply attack the ip addresses at random - no action
required by the user (email / website visits) ...if you win2k/winxp, install the
latest security updates ...that helped me a little - But iwas still getting
30-50 viruses a day (all were getting caught) this was after a major crash that
might have been virus related - that all stopped after installing the Norton
firewall (picked up  "Norton security 2003"  for $6 on ebay ) that stopped
attacks and viruses right in their tracks - havenn't seen anthing since ...fyi,
the security sfotware stops ALL popups - even some popup stopper missed , and
notes on average some external program is probing my computer ports every few
minutes ...welcome to the wild wild west...
