Guys, the way to deal with this is to have an up to date virus protection
!! If you are running OutlookExpress, there is a free program from CA
called MailWatcher, which will not allow any program to generate emails to
be sent out automatically. Works great!!
Being in the internet business, I see about 10 notices a day about an
infected attachement, and the program does away with it (as per my
configuration).
I use CA's eTrust virus scanner, (19.95 now) and they update it almost
daily now.
If you cannot find MailWatcher and would like it, just let me know and I
will send it to you.
