Wyatt, is there a way to find out if it's in the mailbox? As you know, there was no attachment with this, just lots of squirrelly text. So is it possible that I rec'd the dastardly email but am NOT infected? I've been to the Symantec site you recommended and downloaded the fix to a floppy, also printed the instructions for disabling Sys. Restore (I run Millenium), but I don't understand from those instructions if you need to restart in Safe Mode if you're running the removal tool from a floppy? ----- Original Message ----- From: Wyatt M.

AVG didn't find it here because I don't use Windows addressbook, OE, Outlook, or HTML mail. It is conceivable that you can download it into your mailbox and not be infected as long as you don't execute any attachments.
