YAV? . . . Yet Another Virus!
----------------------------------

While this is not directly Windows 98-related, many
viri have infected thousands of computers in recent
days.  Among the most notorious viruses making an
appearance are Melissa and Papa.  These are "macro"
viruses that can infect Microsoft Office 97 and 2000
applications like Word and Excel.

If you haven't yet, read about the viruses and install
a good anti-virus program.
