Out of interest, if any of you guys use Norton anti virus, you will need to
get the latest update to spot it. I received it earlier in the day by a
direct post to another list, ran virus scan against it and did not get a
+ve. Updated Norton and then got a +ve. I also realised that I hadn't
enabled e-mail checking as the mail comes in. It may just be worth checking
is enabled.
