Don't want anyone to panic. I closed out and scanned my 19,322 files and they are virus free. I checked my log of viruses that Norton's is protecting my cpu from-its 48,104 virus' I have protection from which DOES include 4 versions of the virus W97M/Ethan that melba has. This is the 2nd time my Nortons has caught a virus from an attachment. I am getting very leery in accepting attachments if those sending do not have an anti-virus program and don't a bi-weekly scan and update like Nortons 2000 has. I am fortunate that Hotmail has its own anti-virus scan too and does this automatically, that is one main reason I use hotmail from MSN. thank you...Nena Smothers _____________________________________________________________________________________ Get more from the Web.
