Dear List -
I too am getting literally dozens of this badtrans virus on a
daily basis and fortunately, my Norton is updated and quarantines them all
but I have noticed they don't have attachments. They are just blank
messages that say "unsent 1" if you open them. It is really odd that mine
show no attachments. Does anyone else have the same experience?
