Hi Young, I don't hear these rumors, nor believe them. Mexico is a significant producer, and to the degree that I follow oil exploration, I have not seen credible evidence that there are known reserves being hoarded. There has been speculation that they may have more fields than have been found to date (including some in the Baja area on the west coast), but that is mere speculation as, to date, no one has been sufficiently convinced of the possibility as to invest the money in exploration.

This is only one; I like it; it is the only one I have tried; there are many. Symantec's program is easy to keep up to date, just a log on. There are other good ones. With all the email traffic, and exposure to lists that is available, the opportunity to be infected is great, and at times, inadvertent by the sender. The sender often is clueless. If you participate in lists long enough, you will be exposed. And the pace that all these facets of technology are developing, long enough could be quite a short measure of time. To look at the problem from another direction: You (we) have a responsibility to those mailed to to not spread this trash. It is so easy to protect yourself and it is so time consuming to cure the "disease". Protect yourself and others: Do not practice unprotected computing. esetser wrote: > I believe you are correct Tom.

For information about Outlook Express and configuring with your antivirus, go to www.Symantec.com, click service & support, select your product and version, click knowledge base and type in configuration with Outlook Express for a document. If none, go to contact options on same page as knowlege base, and post a question to a technician. Someone will respond within 24 hours or less. If you have a version 5 or lower, time to upgrade.

After that period one has to subscribe. You can log on to their website and update while you are reading all this great info. Mine is configured to remind me to update on a regular basis. New or new varieties of virus, worms, trojan horses, etc. surface all the time. If I have an attachment and I click on it, it is automatically scanned. Normally I delete anything other than a jif, jpg file, unless I know about it from the context of the email. On one list that I get, there are exell files posted and I would not worry about them, because I know its history. If I were to want to save it, Norton would scan it before it were stored to disk. As far as Outlook is concerned: I am prejudice against Microsoft, and where I have a choice, I will not choose one of their products. I use Netscape, know it and like it. Coupled with the fact that most of these virus trojan horses work through MS and Outlook, I see no reason to use it. Norton can be configured to scan email. Not causing each other heartache with an unhealthy environment is not off topic, in my way of thinking. Ann Hollingworth wrote: > I have Norton Antivirus, but don't update it much.

Internet security is one of those areas in life where one must make personal decisions. If a person has only a limited knowledge of computers, then not opening any attachments might be the safest strategy. If one has a moderate knowledge of computers and one has one of the graphics editing programs installed on their computer, (such as Microsoft Photo Editor, Paint Shop Pro, or any of a host of other programs designed for editing pictures) there is a slow but safe method for viewing attached image files. Right-click on the attachment and save it on your disk (remember where you put it). Start your photo editor program (whatever its name is) and use file open from the menu bar of this application to open the picture. View it, print it or whatever. When you are done, delete it from your disk (to reclaim the space). The reason the above is “safe” is that graphics editing programs treat files as data; they never try to “run” them.
