Has anyone in the blogosphere been getting hit with viruses in personal email, the one they use in comments on blogs? I haven't heard about a problem, but it seems that either my bloggie address is in a few address books that are compromised with a virus or worm, or they are stripping the addresses from the comments. It is weird, because I don't use a personal email address when leaving comments, so when I get a virus-laden email in my bloggie folder, it can only originate from the blog world.

Be sure to take the normal, everyday precautions on your computer. It used to be that you had to initiate a download of a virus update for an anti-virus program, now they do all of that automatically. The precautions for surfing and stripping from comments is a lot tougher, and wil require a lot more research.

I did have a laugh at one email, purportedly from the "Southstation.Org Team." Since I am the only one on that "team," I know I didn't send this one! Anyway, the message told me, the user, to run the attached file as it seemed there were viruses coming from a Southstation.Org user. We know that ain't gonna happen, so this clever virus user has glommed onto the domain and is working the names it finds with that domain. Weird.

And now for something different. The dessert I whipped up for the Reunion committee has generated a lot of interest, on and off the blog! So, I'll post the recipe on Friday, if I can.

Rainy day at the blog house, so the music is bright and uplifting, Swing Out Sister's "It's Better To Travel," featuring Corrinne Drewery (described by Glamour magazine as having a "crème fraiche voice and Breakfast At Tiffany's clothes) singing that infectious song (and not a virus in sight) "Breakout" from 1987. Have a wonderful day!
