Carol:

I am not infected with the virus.  Norton catches it and quarantines 
it before it can do any harm.  The PURPOSE of this email was to have 
people scan their computers for the virus and clean it up, should 
they have it.  Evidently, from the replies I've received, I didn't 
get that message across, even though I referred to the website where 
the tool can be downloaded to clean the PC of the virus.  I'm not 
sure how much clearer I could have been.  Obviously, I am on 
someone's address book who has the virus.  In reference to Todd 
Muncy's post, he must have been lucky as he was able to identify the 
sender. In my case I get approximately two of these infected emails 
daily and, unfortunately, looking at the properties, as Todd 
indicated, shows nobody with whom I am familiar.  In the past three 
weeks I have probably received approximately 40 of theses viruses. In 
fact, I just received one logging on this morning.  It's like having 
a plaque.  Again, it doesn't infect my PC due to Norton doing its 
job, but it does make me feel very uncomfortable.
