Win 98 ..imune? 'cuse me what? First I have heard of anything being imune. I recall virus issues on my 8086 running DOS 2.1. But actual case one of our security video recorders based with Win 98 became infected with what was identified as "NIMDA" virus. So it is vunerable. But boy using that Win 98 sure must handicap ability to use new programs. We use Win 98 often for DVR service but need to run no other programs on the machine.

the <----indicated sarchasm.
Actually most new viruses are targeted at XP and Vista. Hmmm wonder if I tried to run one if I would get a "this is not a valid Win32 aplication" message.

Thanks for the heads up but my MAC and I are unconcerned.

This has been around for awhile...I thought they were getting sued but I guess the virus is still being spread around.
