hi eleanor, i too got this message from abast regarding a email to the list from paul halligan. paul maybe you have some virus, check it out please, jenny ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor Burke To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 10:54 AM Subject: [vip_students] Avast Potential Threat Hi I had 3 e-mails this morning on the list from Paul Halligan. My new Avast advised me to delete as they were a potential virus threat due to suspious file extension. I am sorry Paul but I did this. If you would like to send again if there is anything that you feel might interest or apply to me that is fine. Wonder if anyone else had this problem with your e-mails since installing Avast. In all the time I used AVG 7.5 or any version I never got a message like this so Avast must be good but I hope it is not picking up things which are not threats. Best Eleanor
