Hello Forum; I just wanted to let you know that I had signed up on a Yahoo Group that just started recently for the Suzuki Savage. I thought there might be some interesting discussion. What I did not realize was that when you open up on a group, evrybody gets your mail and you get everybody elses. Thats fine, except that I also got a virus, the infamous sircam. Apparently this virus invades your e-mail address book and duplicates itself to everyone in your book. Some of you may have received an e-mail from me asking for "advice" and became contaminated when you opened it. My apologies that you were mislead by my name, but it wasn't my fault. Blame the freak that started the virus, whoever he (or she ) is. I went to the Symantec web page and downloaded the cure for this particular virus, so now I am clean again. Warning! When you join a group that shares e-mail, you are really taking a chance, and when you open attachments from suspicious sources, that is also risky. I deleted myself from the Yahoo Group and I'll never join another, thank you. Frank Moss
