Hello !

This is my first posting (actually my second after a test) and hope
you'll excuse the chaos that I might be just producing ... Anyway I
have the following problem :

I just got an MSDOS exe-file via bitnet from the states, and I was
told that it was infected with the Jerusalem Virus.  Now this happens
to be the first contact I have with any kind of virus.  I *HAVE* been
reading most of the postings to this group, but it didn't make much
sense to me then.

My question is: Do I have to do anything against the virus, i.e. does
it do anything that I might not want ??? If so, what can I do about it
??? Where do I get "anti-virus" programs...preferably without paying
:)

There seem to be quite a lot of you out there who know what's going
on, so could someone please give me some hints ??

Thanks in advance

Arne

PS.: I don't have a signature file... as you can see :)
