Thanks Jack, I've received a lot of emails offering a clean-up of this virus, most I've deleted, is that possibly part of the virus. Several had a blue link in them, others had an attachment.

This thing is weird. One of my neighbors forwarded an email to me where someone had called Norton about it(Virus?). It claimed that Norton said they knew of nothing of any such virus. An old Navy buddy sent me an email and said it was stopped by his McAfee Virus program. Virus or not twice my Norton has intercepted something which I quarantined and deleted. Is it possible it attached to our GenWeb lists? I haven't been able to pin point a source for this problem. If is is a virus then it came through on an email someone sent who didn't have a virus scanner and was unaware of how to handle viruses. I just play it safe. If my virus checker catches something I delete. I never saw an icon on any inbound email for an attachment that may have been the virus. Back in January I suffered for a crahes month due to my then McAfee Virus scanner not catching an incoming virus. The end result was two trips to the Gateway Store and being out of service for about two weeks. Afterward I switched to Norton which I find to be a much better program.
