I'm not sure what is going on but my guess is that Sandy has a virus of some kind.

Sandy, I would wait. You don't even really know if that message came from your machine.

That worm is a low threat so wait and see if you see anything else happen. Norton should protect you.

Honestly...you may want to consider a new machine with Windows XP Home or something more stable than Windows 98 (I think you mentioned you were running 98 ).

As bad as some of the holes still in XP are, the ones still in Windows 98, you can drive a convoy through.

I would agree with Mike on that.
I was hesitant about going to XP from '98SE but I did about a year ago and it has been the most trouble-free computer I have ever had.

Definately recommend it now.
