Speaking of warms.  I don't know what I have on my computer, but a weird
problem just developed with the Outlook yesterday.  I get a message that a
program is trying to access my Outlook mailing list and asks me if I want to
allow or deny.  It will continuously pop up when I choose deny.  If I was to
choose allow, then there is a time interval associated with that, One min, 2
min, etc up to ten min.  This is how long the authorization period is, then
of course it will pop up again after this period is lapsed.  This is
crippling, since you can do nothing with Outlook while this message popup
window is activated.  

Does anyone have experience with this.  I have tried everything I could
think of, but im throwing my arms up in the air at this point.

The new worm out has been hitting me every day, receiving as high a 6-8 a
day. Where this is a new e-mail addy, and this list is the only one I signed
back up with so far, that means it came from here. However, the e-mails were
either harvested off the list, or ones computer was infuected with the worm
and sent mine, and everyone elses addys out over the net.

Anyhow, there's a gold lining to the cloud. Today, in the Washington Post,
it was reported that the two hackers responsible for this last worm was
arrested. One was in Turkey, and one in Morocco. One 18, and one 21 years of
age. You can see the full story at the below link. I figured some would like
to know that some justice was done. By the way, the two were dumb enough to
sign the code..Hi Hi.
