Friends:

I knew I shouldn't have done it without checking. Please do not open the
attachment in the teens in cyberspace document. It has a virus. You can
however cut and paste the information from the email to a word document
without getting a virus. So if you want the information, just use the
email section then delete the message with the word document unread. You
cannot get viruses from email, but you can from email attachments. My
apologies.

I hope everyone has a virus scanner on their computers to get rid of such
nasties.

This is the message I got from USDA: The USDA system has detected a virus
in your email attachment file(s): Teens in Cyberspace.doc. The virus named
W97M_ETHAN.A.
