Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.265 / Virus Database: 137 - Release Date: 7/18/01 I guess it does not work with Hotmai.....well neither does Norton and the other expensive scans. I guess I need to run it now. All virus' do not have to be an opened attachment, by the way. ;-) You can get a virus from visiting a webpage. Just for all information.
