Just for your information there is a new virus called bubbleboy and it can be
contracted without opening E-mail. Here is a message from ZDTV Call for Help.
Beware of Bubbleboy
By Michelle Von Wald
This recently detected virus is named after a character in a Seinfeld
episode, but it isn't too funny. Unlike most viruses that pop up each day,
this is noteworthy because it is the first time you can become infected just
by reading your email. It negates previous advice that you could only be
contaminated by opening email attachments. Bubbleboy changes this.
The virus was sent anonymously to an antivirus software firm and is not in
the wild. This means that users have not complained about it infecting their
computers.
The good news is that it doesn't work if you have all of the latest Windows
updates. The critical patch is the ActiveX Eyedog, which updates for security
vulnerabilities.
Follow these steps to update Windows 98:
Open Internet Explorer
Go to Tools
Go to Windows Update
Check all security patches listed under critical updates
Windows 3x/9x/NT users can get information and patch download links at the
Microsoft site. Download the necessary Microsoft patch directly. It's called
Update for scriptlet.typelib/Eyedog Vulnerability.
We recommend downloading the latest Norton Antivirus 2000. It automatically
scans for any email viral threat.
This virus does not affect Macs.

Beware of Bubbleboy
By Michelle Von Wald
This recently detected virus is named after a character in a Seinfeld
episode, but it isn't too funny. Unlike most viruses that pop up each day,
this is noteworthy because it is the first time you can become infected just
by reading your email. It negates previous advice that you could only be
contaminated by opening email attachments. Bubbleboy changes this.
The virus was sent anonymously to an antivirus software firm and is not in
the wild. This means that users have not complained about it infecting their
computers.
The good news is that it doesn't work if you have all of the latest Windows
updates. The critical patch is the ActiveX Eyedog, which updates for security
vulnerabilities.
Follow these steps to update Windows 98:
Open Internet Explorer
Go to Tools
Go to Windows Update
Check all security patches listed under critical updates
Windows 3x/9x/NT users can get information and patch download links at the
Microsoft site. Download the necessary Microsoft patch directly. It's called
Update for scriptlet.typelib/Eyedog Vulnerability.
We recommend downloading the latest Norton Antivirus 2000. It automatically
scans for any email viral threat.
This virus does not affect Macs.
