Helen,

There definitely is a barrage of viruses today (I've been sent notification
of at least 4 attempts against my computer today--3 from AHRQ.gov
addresses). 

Hopefully, your server is catching these. If not, I STRONGLY encourage you
to use antiviral software. You can go to http://security.symantec.com and
analyze your computer over the Internet to see if you have any viruses.
Either MacAffee or Norton Anti-virus programs will work well. 

Since we can't vaccinate against these computer viruses, we must constantly
screen and treat.

Take care,
Mark

Hello all,

My question falls more in the realm of technology than health literacy --
but is anyone else getting barraged today with e-mail messages with varied
subject lines that all have attachments?

I fear that this virus/bug/spam (or whatever) is also sending similar
messages to those in my address book. Other than offer my apologies, I'm not
sure what else to do. I welcome your techno-suggestions.
