What is this about the Kama Sutra email virus?
My local news keeps harping on how it's going to hit tomorrow and we had better all be prepared. Any computer experts here know anything about it? I don't open email that I don't know who it's from and neither to the other people who use my computer. Is that good enough to keep this one out?

1. Go the the Symantec website. They'll tell you if it's something
to worry about or not.

It's that simple.

2. Did that...
the local news gave me that link. It pretty much says what I wrote. But I don't have Symantec ant-virus, so I can't use it's patch and update. And I thinked I checked out my anti-virus website and it didn't say anything about it.

Thanks

3. Well, I don't know a damn thing about Windows, but I'd suspect that
if you indeed don't open ANY emails that you do not know as coming from a trusted source, you might be OK.

But again, do not take my word for it, because I'm not exactly a Windows expert.
