This is a v*rus like so many others: one gets a mail with an attachment, mail says "check the attachment" or "this is my first programme, i hope you would like it", or "this is your requested information", with something like an .scr or .exe in the attachment. Most of the time they come from people you don't even know, i even got them from support@ microsoft.com -- i can't believe people still fall for this sort of stuff. Take this advice: ############################################################### If you unsolicited mails with an attachment and little explanation about that particular attachment, DELETE IT! ############################################################### kind regards, Stefaan Van Slycken Van Slycken Elektro - Waasmunster, Belgium. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Keller" <dek@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <techassist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, June 07, 2003 5:20 PM Subject: [TechAssist] Re: Approved I have no idea of what you are trying to do, but attachments are NOT allowed on the list and are automatically stripped by the server.
