Hello,
I suggest that you get a really good virus program such as SAM which means
Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh. Don't use a freeware or shareware virus
program since they are rarely if ever upgraded for the new viruses. You
could purchase it from a mail order company such as MacMall
(1-800-222-2808). I just checked my MacMall catalog and the cost is now
$63.00. I can't get e-mail.
