Dear Alun, Thanks for your advice, re. the dodgy e-mails. Info, for those of us who are computer ignoramuses, is very much appreciated, esp. from people who understand these matters, such as yourself & Ruth B. Am not too sure whether the "C.A.S.I." messages I recieved, today were infected, or not, but they certainly succeeded in overloading my system (temporarily). However, I have recieved messages, which, undoubtedly, were infected, eg. with "pif" - a warning sign. If I recieve questionable, "strange", e-mails, I become a "Terminator" - straight to the trash can & oblivion. - Thanks again.
