Re: Possible permant cure for virus's !



Hi Nancy: I am on a personal stand alone person computer. The version of
Norton that I am using automatically deletes the messages carrying a virus
if it can not repair it. I never even get a chance to view the message or
the attachment if it is sent to me or downloaded to me, all automatically.
