Hi All,

Of course what you say is true, Cees, but the Farrell trick is not a system 
to protect your computer. It's only a trick to alert you that your computer 
has been attacked so you'll know it's time to check that good antivirus 
program!

Furthermore, if you have a good antivirus program installed, and it does 
it's job, you will never get that warning from your e-mail provider. It's 
only a sort of "fail-safe" warning protocol (if you fail to get the message 
you're safe).

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "No virus here" Gunter
