Agreed. Users of Outlook Express can also increase their security to prevent
the running of unsafe activeX controls (which will prevent your system from
getting infected in the first place even if you don't have a virus checker
enabled - like I didn't at the time). Change the security settings to
restricted sites zone. This will prevent most all active X and scripting
controls from running from your email program. This <should> be the default
option when Microsoft installs its software. I can't think of an example of
when I would want to run any ActiveX component contained in an email.

By the way, I have unsubscribed, but still seem to be lingering...

Realtraders,
Please be more conscience about properly protecting your computer on a
24/7 basis. If you do not currently have an anti-virus program or have an
outdated program, please consider upgrading to today's newer programs. (I
have Norton's Internet Security 2000 with virus protection and it did
detect this weekends virus). Not only will it give you peace of mind, but
will also protect your fellow traders from potential lethal viruses in the
future.
Thank you,
