Virus Problem

[D. Andrews]

I opened Dorit's email message and immediately deleted it, on my home
computer, which does NOT have a virus scan.  What symptoms are you having
and how do I know if my computer has it?  My computer HAS been
tempermental and slow for a few days and I'm wondering how to tell if
that's why.  Thanks to any and all for any help.

Donna
