Just wanted to let everyone know that I have been receiving A LOT of virus' in mail from various prison/er support mailing lists. I know it is not intentional but all of you that subscribe to mailing lists and email groups SHOULD definitely be using some sort of virus scanning software! I use Symantec - Norton Antivirus which not only scans the email I received, but the mail I send out, to prevent spreading any virus'.

There should not be any way PTO spreads virus' unless someone maliciously tries to attach a file. That being the case, the type of files commonly associated with Virus', worms,etc are not allowed on PTO.

Virus' & Worms are not a joke. I can't recommend enough that everyone spend a little time and get up to speed on how you can protect yourself! There are many programs out there available, many of which are free, so look into getting one if you don't already have one working.

Here are a couple download websites that are safe & have volumes of software. Either Demo or freeware..

PS. While writing this email I just received notice of two more virus' via mailing lists.
