Last week I signed on as usual and did some routine maintenance!  I used my 
uninstaller to remove a program, and then went to reboot!  When I went to 
reboot,  I recieved the illegal operation after I entered my password, and 
the detail was a general fault at explorer.exe.  Being a Gateway customer, I  
called them after the 4th attempt and they assisted me for 3 hours, trying to 
averride the exe fault.  they finally told me there was a nwe Trojan horse 
Virus and assumed that this was it!  I was so badly corrupted that I couldn't 
even save my work through DOS, and am now having to rebuild my graphics 
files!  i had been working on adding several new pages to my site, they are 
gone!  
  I know this isn't your fault because awhile ago i recieved happy.exe, after 
recieve a good will e-mail from same person!  My difference was that I 
cconstantly have an updated list of new viruses that is sent by my best 
friend from EDS Corporation, she is a Virus Tech there!  This list sits next 
to me, and I look at it all the time, it is also a reminder to my children!  
  Due to what has happened, I am NOT accepting ANY FWDS,  because I believe I 
got Happy Halloween Trojan Horse, which is not an exe, it says Happy 
Halloween and appears as a regular e-maol.  It was discovered the day I got 
shut down! 
   I wil remain on the list, as I am aware that accidents will happen to any 
of us at any time!   Luck to all, Lisa
