Hi All, I have recently received two email that I believe were virus infected. Thanks for the explanation Ray. I didn't know how it worked until you explained, which also prompted me to do some follow-up research. On the Symantec web site I discovered a removal tool for the virus. It didn't cost me anything to download. It took less than ten minutes to download the tool (and I have an old computer and a slow modem). It also took less than ten minutes for it to sweep through my computer and tell me that the virus was not found on my computer. After reading various articles on the internet I found that you don't have to open an attachment to get this virus. So, I have decided to share the web site with the list and hope that this will help anyone who suspects that they may be infected. (For peace of mind if noththing else) http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.removal.tool.html -- Kati Smith kimis@bellsouth.net http://groups.yahoo.com/group/segakin http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/3043
