One question that keeps rearing its ugly head is about the problems that Y2K may bring to Windows 95 and 98.
Malicious users try to camouflage harmful software in an effort to get others to run it.
Several e-mails are claiming to contain upgrades of Microsoft software and some are claiming Windows 95 and Windows 98 will fail on Jan. 1. However, Microsoft does not distribute software by e-mail and Windows 95 and 98 are compliant. Spamming, which is the electronic equivalent of junk mail has reached such a level that Congress is now starting to take notice and prepare bills. One just introduced this week in the House would create a list of people who do not want to receive unsolicited e-mail. Senders who disregard that warning would be subject to significant fines for each mailing.
