The question has come up on both of these lists about what could/should be done. One of these lists is planning to change to a moderated format to prevent this from occurring again. But that only solves the problem on one list. I invite you to post to this list your best advice to the end-user: 1. What should a computer user do do be well prepared to protect against viruses? 2. If someone has opened a message with happytime or another virus attached, then what needs to be done? Since I believe your replies might be re-posted to other lists including the adult learner list, valuelearner, please try to explain this as clearly, plainly, and completely as possible so a computer neophyte could use your advice. Thanks, David J. Rosen
