Hi..Beware of a new virus called the Dan Quale virus...supposedly it 
attacks some applications, I dont know which ones yet, but it scrambles 
letters in words. I other words all the correct letters are in the word 
but the letters become scrambled messing up your documents or files. This 
was reported to me by someone who works on networks. I also read it on the 
net about a week ago. I dont know how its transmitted or what it attacks. 
Just letting people know to beware.
