[url=http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/comp/faqs/howto4.html]Keep a regular backup of your important files (on floppy, zip disk, writeable CD, tape, another hard disk, etc.)

Be aware that most current viruses arrive as e-mail attachments.
Be very suspicious of any attachment that has any of the following file extensions and DO NOT click on the files that end with:
.exe .vbs .scr .vbe .com .bat .shs .cpl .dll .ocx .pif .drv .lnk .bin .sys .eml .nws

I know this seems like 'after the horse has bolted' but ...

Trying to look on the bright side, 1. You have warned us all to do our backups and 2. You get to visit with a lot of "old friends" as you rediscover the family ties. May this be a labor of love that you do love.
