Thanks. Don't run virus software??? Best of luck. Not everything comes
via normal email posts. For nimda, according to Norton, "If you visit a
compromised Web server, you will be prompted to download an .eml (Outlook
Express) email file, which contains the worm as an attachment. You can
disable "File Download" in your Internet Explorer internet security zones to
prevent this compromise."
Granted this is an email transmission but you might be tempted to accept it
since it's coming from a site that you might consider safe.
Regards,
Mike
