    I found out I got a virus! Its the kak worm thing. My Norton anti-virus was
    missing it, and I may have had it a full week.
    I need to warn everyone in my address book about this, please excuse the off
    topic message, if this shows up in one of my email lists.
    
    Dont open any messages from me about a missing little girl. I looked at her
    picture and got zapped.
    
    Heres one way to tell if you have are infected. Look at your email Options,
    Signature dialog box. Its under "Tools" in my Outlook Express. In Netscape
    or other email programs look at the options, signature file and see if you
    can find something on signature.
    
    The signature is the little message that can be added to every one of your
    emails sent. Youve seen these things on other peoples emails, or maybe youve
    added one to your emails at some time.
    
    Check and see if any signature has been added to your system. My signature
    was adding the kak.htm virus file to all my emails.  !!!
    
    If you get rid of the infected files, be sure to see if this signature is
    still there.
    
    Sorry for the band width...  Jim Hale  KJ5TF
