Yes its a virus, and I'm not surprised Norton didn't detect it. Its a Windows virus, and Norton on the Mac probably doesn't look for Windows viri. Also, I think Norton's default settings is NOT to scan inside compressed items, so it would just look at the zip file itself which is clean. Its the contents inside that are the virus. (it is sent as a zip file in an effort to get past mail server filters... most people don't reject zip files because they are commonly used to transfer data via email) Rest assured, whoever it claims to be from, is not the one who really sent it. And rest easy that you can safely ignore and delete them, as they are totally harmless to your mac... just annoying as all heck to keep getting them. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
