<DIV> Les, Have you checked out the possibility of a worm/ Seems my 'ex' ended up with a "worm32" and now his machine is in getting TRULY cleaned. I'm thinking I might have mine gone over just based on what is happening to yours and what happened to his. </DIV>

<DIV>Hi Marsha;</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Just call me clueless too, the attachments disappeared the next day on my</DIV>
<DIV>system the same as . . . jeez my memory is pad, whoever the lady was that</DIV>
<DIV>corroborated my report and the next day reported they had disappeared from</DIV>
<DIV>her system. I am not entirely convinced yet that it wasn't a virus attack.</DIV>
<DIV>There is some kind of activity going on periodically on my system that my</DIV>
<DIV>son and I have been unable to identify. So far other than makin my driving</DIV>
<DIV>game slow down and have lag problems and crash once in a while it has not</DIV>
<DIV>been a problem. I hope Norton does a thorough analysis of the file I sent</DIV>
<DIV>them to figure out just what it WAS doing. It may be some kind of Microsoft</DIV>
<DIV>thing that got a little perverted for some reason, I notice a lot of my spam</DIV>
<DIV>seem to pull information from my hard drive to create subject lines and</DIV>
<DIV>return addresses on my computer when the email comes in. These attachments</DIV>
<DIV>may be somehow related to that. My guess is those of us who saw the</DIV>
<DIV>attachments have some kind of spy ware or adwar on our machines and that is</DIV>
<DIV>somehow connected along with what was said about stripping this stuff.</DIV>
<DIV>Somedays I miss good old DOS and simple programs I could actually understand</DIV>
<DIV>and if I wanted to write better. Now in the time it would take me to change</DIV>
<DIV>a dialogue box in one of these programs I can add a hundred ancestors to my</DIV>
<DIV>family file. guess where my priorties would lie.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I think the reason you were the one who they were attached to was because</DIV>
<DIV>you sent most of the email that came from the list that day and odds were</DIV>
<DIV>therefore they would be attached to yours. I had one other list letter with</DIV>
<DIV>an attachment and a third of my spam.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just hope if I turn out to be right it is an inocuous virus that one of</DIV>
<DIV>these days will pop up and go "Neener! Neeener! you didn't find me" rather</DIV>
<DIV>than frying my system.</DIV>
