| Interesting warning. I would think that if this where true, GW and Ivillage would have a posted warning to alert all users to this serious problem with our computers. There is no mention of this problem on the computer forum, which I would expect an immediate posting there by those that frequently post on that forum about this. A google search has produced no info either. I posted on the computer help forum, asking if there was any validity to this post and so far no response. I also sent an e-mail to GW directly and asked if this where true. I suspect that the poster may or may not have picked up a virus somewhere else on the web and believes it came from GW and/or Ivillage OR received this info in an e-mail and assumed it to be true and posted it here for all of us to read.

| Watermelon7 If you believe this to be true, why aren't you posting the info of where you got this info about a virus on here? Have you reported this info to GW? If not you should do so immediately and also provide them with the source of your info so that they can do something about this virus, if indeed it does exist. Fran |
