PRILISSA--A NEW MACRO VIRUS BASED ON TWO OLD ONES:
Prilissa is a new Word 97 macro virus, created by a virus vandal with little imagination but a lot of venom. This copycat virus gets part of its name from the Melissa virus, because it copies Melissa's use of the Outlook e-mail program to send itself to people the user knows (besides spreading via infected document files). The other part of its name comes from the Pri macro virus, because it copies Pri's ability to insert random shapes into infected documents. The virus writer evidently lacked the skill to write a destructive payload of his own, and copied an old idea by using the system's FORMAT command, triggered by a command in the autoexec.bat file, to wipe the hard disk of files on December 25. Such viruses are one reason for renaming the Format command to something else, like FORMATAZ.COM or a similar name. Then when a virus tries to use the Format command, it won't find it.

TIPS FOR: Moms-To-Be & New Moms

Easing the Pain of Indigestion:
The major doses of estrogen and progesterone your body produces early in pregnancy relax smooth muscle tissue throughout your body -- and that includes your gastrointestinal tract. This relaxation slows your digestive processes, which can cause bloating, indigestion, and a generally miserable sensation in your gut, especially after a big meal. Don't eat big meals. Instead, eat several small meals throughout the day. Take your time eating, and chew thoroughly. Avoid foods that cause you gastrointestinal distress. The usual suspects are soda, alcohol (which you should be avoiding anyway; see Alcohol During Pregnancy), processed meats, and spicy, highly seasoned, fried, and fatty foods.
NOTE: Always follow the advice of your Physician!

Announce Your Baby's Birth Online:
If you create your own announcements, computer-aided or not, you'll have to stuff envelopes and spring for postage. Why not take advantage of technology and create online birth announcements? Choose the design you like best, then add a photograph and your baby's vital statistics, and you're ready to go. Within moments the whole world can have instant access to your announcement. Plus, you can always print out copies to send to your friends and family who aren't online yet.
