Karen, 99% of computer viruses around today are spread by email, and spread when someone opens an attachment to an email containing a virus. The emails sent by this site (welcome new user, you forgot your password, new posting in the forums) are virus-free. Lana and I both get a ton of email and try hard to protect against viruses but it is always possible that we'll get hit and the virus will mail itself to people in our address books. The Peach-o-Gram mailing list is not kept in our address books and is not susceptible to this kind of virus attack. Our web server is Apache which compared to Microsoft IIS has had relatively few security issues. Most problems web sites have with security result in the web site getting attacked, not the visitors to the site. I've been around computers long enough to know anything can happen, but visiting a web site is not likely to be responsible for giving you a virus. If you ever visit a web page and you get a pop-up message asking you if you want to download and run a program, don't, unless you're sure it's OK. Rowland
