I do that at work with Trend ScanMail and Emanager but this is on my home
account. : ) I set an outlook rule to dump anything with an attachment into
a folder called CAUTION-ATTACH and make sure the preview pane is always off
on that folder to avoid accidently opening them if they do not get caught.

Why don't you just block suspect extensions ?  I block about 50 or so
different ones so even if McAfee isn't up to date yet the bad guys still get
nailed.  If I recall correctly this ones either a .PIF or a .SCR both of
which I block even before the virus scanner kicks in.

Hi All,
Just a heads up.  I've updated my Mcaffee and already received this worm 3
times today and McAffee is not catching this one.
The attachment is remaining intact.
So tell your people to immediately delete anything that comes from
BIG@xxxxxxxx and block that address if you can at your email gateway.

Regards,
Jim Kenzig
