I'm just curious where I can get a hold of that "wild" list... I don't know
very much a bout viruses, and after reading some of the posts here, I don't
seem to know much at ALL. But anyway, I'm just sorta trying to learn/protect
myself from this stuff (virii) as I DO use the internet, and AOL (BLEAGH) and
download files.. where is a good place, preferably on the 'net that I can
find virus FACTS... I see there are a lot of "fairy tails" being told, and
want to know something concrete. Thanks in advance,
Kit Hallett
