They shouldn't be bypassing the virus checker. All incoming files

I was also hit by a virus several days ago but checking into the details
I see it was only discovered in the wild a couple of weeks ago. No

one has learned to recognize yet.
As to Win7 I only made the decision to get off XP and onto Win7 last

end I think it's a superior OS. It and the new 64-bit hardware its on
make mincemeat of the Dell XP machine at boot time.
