I do not recall just when this happened, but it has not been too long ago,
that my Cheyenne antivirus program detected a virus when I was checking
mail and of course I deleted it.  I was wondering, do I need to update this
program periodically, it appears to be working but that was the first time
I had ever seen it work or find anything in the couple of years or so that
it has been on my computer.
