"I have a continous warning about a worm wich is harassing me an d my computer"
1. warning from what?
2. harassing me? how?
3.. "d" my computer???????
not to mentions your subject..."Question about 'How do I protect myself against
email viruses (such as worms)?"..... where i am going with this is do you have
this worm in general on your computer or is it "harassing" by way of an email messege?
if it's just a messege you keep getting in your inbox, then trash it without opening
it, if your system is infected with it then following the above posters adivce should
clear you up, or are you looking in general, for ways to protect your system? what
you had put in your subject and the body of the messege did not make much of any
sense to me, imo!
1. Firefox
2. OutPost Firewall
3. AVG AntiVirus
