Hello Chris,
As far as I know a JIF file is like a JPEG graphics file. There can always
be other files with the same extension.
No magic answers as to where to search for them - it's just a matter of
searching from the desktop (F3).
Vince.

Subject: [access-uk] Spam, Spyware or Virus?
Hello,
Recently three e-mails were sent to an old account of mine that only receives e-mails. Each had nothing in the body of the message, and at the bottom of each was a file name with a gif extension. These files do not appear to be attachments: they are not in Eudora's Attachments folder, and the file names were placed at the end of the e-mail, whereas the names of attachments are found before the AVG certification messages.
I have searched for these files to delete them in Eudora's subfolders and have not found them there. After a complete scan AVG tells me that there is no virus on my system. I know that something was downloaded with these e-mails because of the length of time taken by the downloads. So, does anyone have any ideas as to waht these files might be, and where should I look for them?
Eudora is set to convert received e-mails to plain text.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Chris
