Buy a virus killer. I use Norton Internet Security, and it detected 20 emails containing the badtrans.b virus before it even made the news. The 2002 version also scans your outgoing email, so will prevent you spreading it to lists. These days, there really is no excuse for not having at least a virus killer, and possibly a firewall. I'm not having a go at anyone, although it is very annoying, but do yourselves a favour, and buy a virus killer.... :) For those using academic networks and computers, sack the network admin... I believe Symantec even have a FREE online virus check on their website, that will scan your machine for you, without having to buy anything.... Best regards, J.
