Hi Folks: On the McAfee web site is a option to automatically notify us 
when new virus pose a problem. One must subscribe(FREE) to be notified 
automatically and the updates are usually quite small for these notices. I 
believe other virus programs such as Norton also have this service, check the 
web site carefully to find these options.  And all shall have a Happier New 
Year. steven

  I know that this isn't 
  equine related in the least, but since we are all computer users, I think it 
  is important.
   
  The recent discussion 
  about viruses encouraged me to do a little bit of research online.  Even 
  though I have the McAfee virus "scanner" I knew that it couldn't possibly be 
  aware of all of the new bugs out there.  I went to McAfee's web page and 
  was able to update the data that my version of McAfee knows.  It took 
  about an hour, but it now has info about the most up to date viruses.  
  McAfee reccomends that I check the site weekly for updates on the newest 
  viruses.  Now that I have downloaded the updated info, I think that it 
  will update very quickly each time that I need to.
   
  Have a Happy New Year and 
  a nice weekend filled with pleasant weather and good trails!
