Sorry I didn't make it clear in my previous post, the message I quoted 
was from the Dr Solomon tech support people about covering Win 95 with 
existing software.  The reply states the cover offered by the current 
win3.1 Dr Solomons toolkit when running Win95.  The upgrade price was 25 
pounds for current win3.1 versions of the toolkit to the win95 version, 
not other products.

A macro virus is a new breed of "virus" that runs from inside a word 6 
document macro which can then be transfered around as a "simple" message 
document with relative ease.  The only version so far is the "Prank" 
macro which in itself was benign but shows the way for things to 
come....

A fix is available from microsoft ftp and www page I believe.
