Thanks for the info TDC. [img]smile.gif[/img] My Norton automatically Updates, but always good to just know what is going about virus-wise, just in case, cause you never know unfortunately.

Thanks for the warning. I just updated my virus definitions after reading this post. Anyway, I seldom get virus through mails nowadays.

Mailwasher + Mozilla Thunderbird = safer mails :D

And to Xen you should really get some virus protection on your PC. There are a few good free virus scanners out there that you should look into. AVG is pretty good. You can try the site below for a free virus scanner.
