Nij,

I will check the next one that comes in. I had thought this one completely
covered it's trail but if I check a few. If the same sender keeps coming up
that may narrow it down. I have to say I have been reluctant to click
anything on these things other than to get them deleted ASAP.

Good advice. If your computer is infected, the Symantec site gives you
step-by-step instruction and the software tools to clean your computer for
free.
