[access-uk] Re: e-mail virus

You're probably fine.  The messages are often large and get stuck on the
ISP's system.  I'd do a complete system scan though.

Hi

On opening OE today, Norton opened saying a virus was found in a
message, surprisingly or coincidentally it was from,
Windows@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, not sure that I have ever looked at this
site, seem to remember looking at something similar on Jfwlite.com many
months a go.  The message had an attachment and its subject was "your
details".

I am not familiar with Norton and it did not really give me any options
on what to do with it.  I had a Finish button and a more details button,
and it did not appear to have deleted or quarantined the message.

I could not get rid of it, after pressing the finish button OE
downloaded messages again until it got to this one again and the same
thing happened again.

Seemed strange that messages that I had deleted came back in again.

I seem to have got rid of it now.

In trying to get rid of this and enabling all my other messages to come
in I did open this bad message, but not the attachment, it simply said
"Your details".

Interested in your views.

Graham
