Dear Friends of the Biblical Greek News group,
The reason that most virus software does not intercept this virus is
that many do not have the "e-mail" protection turned on for all of their
e-mail accounts. Go into the options for Norton, or McAfee and make
sure that each e-mail account on your system is protected/being scanned
by your anti-virus software. If they are not being scanned, you will
catch the virus when it comes your way as well as become a means for
propagating the virus on behalf of the idiot who first unleashed it.
