Thanks for the additional info ... have created an OE5 filter which
looks for messages with an attachment and ".vbs" in the body and routes
them to a WarningAndReject folder for further inspection. Actually, I
keep my system up to date with the Microsoft Windows Update
(IE5>Tools>WindowsUpdate) security updates and they do a good job of
plugging vulnerabilities and issuing warnings. Throw in a bit of
reasonable caution with file exchanges, downloads, and attachments and
I've found no need (in 15+ years of using PC's) to throw money at the
virus software companies which love to add to the hype.
