Hi I checked the Symantec site for a description of the sort of virus some of us have been experiencing. I believe it is a variant of W32.Badtrans.B@mm. More of a nuisance than a real problem. If you want to have a read about it, the relevant URL is: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm.ht ml Nortons AntiVirus and other similar programs will as usual detect and remove with no problem. But I'm sure you'll all taking the necessary precautions, aren't you! Best wishes Robert
