[AT] Virus check

[charliehill]

Dick,  I just read online that Microsoft has installed a patch to fix the 
"conficker" vulnerability back in Oct.
So, if you run microsoft auto-update you should be ok.
If anyone is running a bootleg copy of Windows or if you don't have 
auto-update turned on you either need update your copy of Windows or if 
you're running bootleg make sure your virus software is up to date before 
April 1.
