Not your gardening variety! Sorry if this is a bit OT, but my new machine
XP Home (not this one 98SE) caught the worm during it's first ever session
online yesterday while updating the Anti Virus Software, and with the
Firewall activated (ICF). I did not have time to Update XP. I pulled the
plug when Norton found the worm--downloaded a removal tool from Symantec,
and now it seems ok-- but I still need to Update tonight. It's difficult to
see what further precautions I could take! I've not yet used email on that
machine.
