If you are using an email program which provides "rules" for incoming messages, you can set up a rule that searches for that text which accompanies the virus. Then have the rule route it to your deleted folder. Personally I know that Outlook and Groupwise can do this, but Eudora, Netscape and the rest should handle it also. BTW - I've just received my first copy of that file. But my free copy of ZoneAlarm, the firewall software, filtered it for me. IMHO ZoneAlarm is one seriously excellent program.
