I was lucky - I run W98 and Linux - neither of which can 
get infected with these viruses.

That goes for the other Window variants when properly 
maintained.  MS published patches in mid-July! 

Thanks ... that's good to know.  

BTW, when did MS publish the bugs that allow those 
vulnerabilities?  <G>

With the first release of Windows NT 4.0, it appears. Haven't seen 
any word that 3.51 was vulnerable (MS didn't have a patch for it, in
any case).
