    3. I have just received 6 messages from the list ALL of them with attachments. I tried to reply to the ppl that sent the virus but every message came back as Returned Mail: User Unknown On the http://securityresponse.symantec.com page there is an explanation on the W32.Badtrans.13312@mm virus discovered on April 11, 2001. It is a MAPI worm that replies to all unread messages in your email message folder and drops a backdoor Trojan. The web page gives removal instructions. I have Norton and have been using it. Unfortunately it created a problem with my computer and changed the email preferences. My email would not close after downloading and would repeat the download 2 and 3 more times so I removed Norton from email only. If I in turn sent any attachments or viruses to anyone, please accept my apologies. It was not my intention. Shalori

    3. In the last four attachments that I've received from people I don't know have contained viruses. Thankfully I've got Norton which took care of the problem. Please scan your attached emails and don't open those attachments from people you don't know. A great website that provides a free virus scan is http://www.pcpitstop.com Also, an investment in Norton is worth it's weight in gold.
