I have had a computer since Nov. 1997 and I have had one virus.  It wiped
out my system.ini file and it took someone that knew what they were doing 5
hours to talk me through the steps to get my computer up and running again.
Twice in the last week I have received the worm called Happy99.exe.  I
recognized it and didn't open the attachment so it wasn't a problem.  Their
out there and I certainly don't want another one!!
I have no idea what Mitselflick means, it was just part of that warning
about the leprechan.  Since I saw the leprechan's face under my cursor that
one time I'm afraid of what may happen on St. Patricks Day but come what
will I'll just do what I can and hope for the best!!

No you don't. How much time you use mail and how many
viruses you have? I use PC since 89 and have my own since
94 and still not see any virus at work.

LOL,

BTW what it means: mitseflick???
