I remember seeing several emails with EXE attachments from the same email
address. I deleted the emails directly from the InBox without opening. I run
Win2000 Professional and stay current with all of the Microsoft Windows
Update Critical Updates. I've never seen any indication of a virus. While
I'm sorry for your problem, I'm curious as to what makes you think these
emails infected your system from unopened executables?
