Viruses. How can you tell

[normanstrong]

if you've caught one? Recently a couple of CD ripper and burner
programs have stopped working, and I don't know why. My e-mail still
works, but not all the hyperlinks work.

As you might guess, I don't know much about this subject. In fact, I
don't know much about computers--period.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Norman,

Hyperlinks in emails wont work? Download iefix.exe from here. it
re-registers the dlls and fixes the situation:

You could try running an anti-virus program??

Ahem, you DO have one, don't you?

All the best

Greetings --

You install and use anti-virus software, of course. ;-}

List of Antivirus Software Vendors
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;49500

For an immediate test, try using one or more of these free on-line
virus scanners:

Trend Micro - Free online virus Scan
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

McAfee Security - FreeScan
http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp

Symantec Security Check
http://security.symantec.com/ssc/home.asp

For a free antivirus application, you might try AVG from
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php. Many people recommend it, but
I haven't tried it, myself. (I'm somewhat old fashioned; I learned a
long time ago that "You get what you pay for," and that "freebies"
almost always have some kind of hidden cost.)

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on
