Kent,
Your advice is being heeded here. 
 
I have deleated all email addresses from that 
machine (the virus deleted all messages already), taken it offline and have 
moved over to a "clean" machine until the problem is resolved there.  It 
would appear a complete restore will be required after the HD is repartitioned, 
but speaking out off school since that kind of thing is not my 
specialty.
 
All attempts to rid the computer of the virus 
(w32/Magistr@xx) have failed using two different anti-virus software 
packages The antivirus software says it gone, but it is not.
 
Here is a description of this worm/trojan whatever 
you call it.

If someone could send me (direct) the information 
on "the Bat" I would appreciate it.  I am getting rid of all OE email 
products here, period, should have done it earlier.
 
Also recommendations on an antivirus software that 
does not slow a machine to a snails pace would be appreciated (send 
direct).  The Norton's on my other machines have degraded their performance 
measurably.
 
This one is very destructive.  The initial 
email where I recieved it, was from a friend I talk to almost every day and 
it gave the appearance I was opening a dot-com link (groups.com) that he 
wanted me to look at.  I am normally very, very careful about what I open, 
not careful enough on that machine.
 
Again my apology.
