What are the warning symptoms of Melissa virus?
You will receive an email like below.
1. It may be from someone you know. But they don't know they sent it.
2. The subject line will read, "Important Message From" and the name may be someone you know.
3. The body of the mail will read, "Here is that document you asked for don't show anyone else ;-)"
4. The attachment, where this nasty little bug lives, has the name of list.doc.
The program sends itself from the email addresses of people who are likely to be familiar contacts, arriving as email with the subject line "Important message from..." followed by the sender's name. The body says "Here is that document you asked for ... don't show anyone else ;-)." The email includes an attached Word file "list.doc," which includes the porn sites' addresses. The virus doesn't appear to cause any damage to infected computers except in rare cases when the minutes of the current time match the date--for example at 2:45 p.m. on June 15. In this instance, the virus will insert the Bart Simpson quotation, "Twenty-two points, plus triple-word-score, plus fifty points for using all my letters. Game's over. I'm outta here" into a user's active document.

How do you upgrade to Mac OS 10.4.9 from 10.3.9?
well, that's pretty old. The new operating system, 10.5.x probably isn't supported on your machine. If you want to update, it looks like you are going to have to get a new computer...
*I have one of these machines still running strong (eMAC 17, to be precise) However, one foundational concept I've applied in my life is to virtually NEVER upgrade the OS from the one that comes with the machine. Yes, Apple Stopped supporting SARFARI on OSX10.3.9 and I had Opera for a while, then the upgrade wouldn't run, and CAMINO 1.6 for quite a while -with the modern internet it has limited functionality. The computer itself works fine- and no problems with the hard drive or DVD burner (yet), I occasionally hook up a USB Piano style keyboard and open up Garage Band to attempt to learn how to play (I'm just past CHOP-STICKS), this MAC has great speakers built into it, and apparently was made much better than some of our MAC Laptops that have DIED prematurely (to me, anything less than 10 years is PREMATURE).
**a key is not to think about what a machine can't do, think about what it CAN AND DOES DO, and then USE IT FOR THOSE THINGS- then you will have a smile on your face and yes, we do have some newer MAC's in the house- even my version of a SMART TV, (MAC MINI Connected to my TV) -which is also good- but we may have to eventually get a DVD burner, if we go back to creating videos.

What are ways a computer can become infected on the internet?
There are a few ways evil can find its way onto your computer. The most common way is opening attachments that supposedly came from your friend. Spyware and viruses can sometimes send messages with copies of the virus from your friend to everyone in their address book, pretending to be your friend. Rule of thumb: never open any attachment from any email that you didn't expect. Another way your computer can get infected is if you download a rogue file on the internet. Always check to see if what you're downloading comes from a reliable source. If in doubt, have an anti-virus program scan the file before you run it. The most malicious virus is a Trojan Horse program, a term used to describe a virus that pretends it does one thing, while it really messes up your computer. Be very cautious what you download and always scan what you download. Some websites phish other websites (pretend to be the true website), but phishing checkers are available on the internet. If you download a file that has an extension (such as .jpg or .doc) that you are not familiar with, immediately delete the file and double check the website to make sure that you're downloading something safe. Some programs freely admit to being spyware to prevent lawsuits (usually on paragraph 56 of the 57-paragraph license agreement). Bottom line: be sure of what you download and always scan it before you run it. Next, never start your computer with a floppy disk in the floppy disk drive. Not even that "game" (wink-wink) Bob slipped you last week. Your computer is most vulnerable as it starts up. As part of your start-up routine, eject any and all floppy disks. Finally, some evildoers can get into your network, destroy and vandalize, slip in some viruses, and run away unnoticed. This is only true if your router has any wireless capability. To counteract this, watch your windows for any masked men crouching by your house with a laptop in hand. Better yet, be sure to enable security for your router (usually go with WPA unless some hardware is incompatible) and create a strong, secure password. And don't get paranoid. 90% of what you download on the internet is safe, especially if the website you're using is either secure (look at the URL for https://) or is checked by third-party software (you'll usually see an ad somewhere on the page that says "Virus-Buster Protected!" or some other stupid slogan. Breathe a sigh of relief when you do.). Hope this answer helps!
