For those of us who don't know, and to prevent another general hysterical confusion of followups to this ridiculously crossposted thread, I would like to mention a few FACTS: - The "Concept" virus is a Microsoft Word macro virus. - You cannot get "infected" by this virus unless you save a document which contains it and then open it in MS Word. - There is supposedly a similar virus which infects Wordperfect documents. - You CANNOT get infected by any virus simply from reading your news or email!
