Paul,

If you have up to date virus software and definitions, a virus scan of your
drives would turn it up.

It tries to execute when you open the e-mail but like many people I use the
preview window in Outlook Express, so its appearance in the preview
constitutes opening the e-mail and the attachment tries to run. My software
pops up a box asking if I want to run it or save it to disk. I close this
and delete the e-mail message. Since I have Norton Antivirus installed, the
attachment gets quarantined before the e-mail is accepted and I am not at
risk. Just unnerved and pissed. I will spare you my opinion of the people
who write these things.

Another nice feature with the Norton (and I imagine the other antivirus
packages offer it to) is that you can set it to monitor outgoing e-mail for
viruses. With that enabled you would help prevent one of the worm type
viruses from spreading to other computers if yours became infected.
