To my knowledge, i did not attach the document. I simply forwarded it. but
you are right that virus can be attached to a document.If you open it, you
are infected. As of yesterday, I have not had a problem with my
computer, so I am assuming that it must be safe.

In any case, if you wanna minimize the risk, you should try the computer
lab.

best,

List,
I hear that the probabilities of getting a virus into my 
computer increase when I open attachments.  Is that true?  
I have heard horror stories about computers that get 
destructive viruses and I don't want to go through one of 
those episodes. It has been about eight months since I last 
opened an attachment.  I wonder what kind of information I 
am missing!!!
Is there a way of minimizing the risks and still accessing 
the info.?

I guess I could go to the computer lab and use one of 
"their" computers and save mine [This is not an acceptable 
option]

Luis
