An attached file from a JP Donavan tried to open itself and the items involved are entitled>>>NEW_NAPSTER_SITE.pif and a txt. file with 0.00 bytes.

How do I remove it? just delete it from the e-mail
I have not opened the attachments???

I believe that all you have to do is delete the email.

Larry - be calm!!! Just make sure you have reasonably competent anti-virus software, run it and let it munch the nasties :D

Btw, I am just trying out AVG - it's free and it seems to be pretty good at detecting and clearing nasty stuff.

All the best,

r you could try pc-cillin and scan... calm down man! it usually takes time to ruin your pc, which gives you a little room... so try loking for a decent anti-virus if you do not feel safe just deleting the email!

Delete the E-Mail and empty your local trash folder. Then scan with an AV program.

If it's a PIF file and a TXT file, you have nothing to worry about...those are DOS files and cannot possibly carry viruses.

Just delete them and forget about it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

<font color= "silver"><H6> Heres a little advice for future referance:</H6> <H4>NEVER</H4> <H6> Open any Emails with attachments that your not expecting. Anyone with any sense these days (no offence if u didnt know this and dont do it) sends you an email beforehand detailing exactly what is in the one with attachments. Also, </H6><H4> NEVER </H4><H6> Open any emails that are either forwards or from someone u dont know as these are the most likely to contain viruses. Also, if you think you have a virus on your computer, 1st run Your AntiVirus Programs, and then (if u got i tfrom the net) Clear out the directory C:\Windows\Temporary Internet Files.

Crisis averted...after deleting the e-mail..I ran a search for all pif files. You were right, Sazy...only MS Dos programs came up. I deleted the thread, then cleared the trash. It tried to force itself open, and that is what bugged me. I had never had a file be so jumpy as that.
