Message: A great big Happy Father's Day to all the Cougs, enjoy your day with your family. Now regarding our graduation, in some ways it does not seem like it has been 40 years since we left HHS. I'm guessing it is because we have Cougartown and it has brought memories from our past and given us back so many of our friends. Cougartown keeps things going, keep it up John and all cougs who share their times of the past with us all. Also, Larry and I wish Sharon and Paco a happy 40th Anniversary. Have a great week end all. Always a Coug
Happy Fathers Day, Larry

Clear as Mud?
Good point. Just because you have a virus program on your computer, does not mean squat unless it is constantly (weekly) updated by you or, if you sign up and pay your 8 bones a year, automatically updated via the web by your antivirus service.

Message: Dear gang, Many of you are still infected with and trying to spread the Klez virus. It’s important that you understand that your virus protection programs only detect one version of this variation virus. Much like human virus’ this one tends to mutate with each infection. The only real way to make sure you are clean of this virus is to download and run the tool that was developed by Symantec. It’s free, it’s fun and your friends will love you for fixing the problem. The URL to get there directly is here
If you are local and need assistance with running the tool, email me at ct_helpdesk@yahoo.com include a daytime phone number and I’ll give you a call to walk you through the process.
Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Kathleen, People PLEASE do this, even if you think your computer is clean. Right now I'm getting approximately 30 to 35 Klez virus infected emails a day, but Norton is finding them. This thing won't go away unless EVERYONE downloads the removal tool and runs it on their computer. Just because your computer isn't acting up doesn't mean it's not infected.
