For one, switch your email to PLAIN TEXT, not HTML 'rich text'.
The variant you seem to have is a binary imbedded and carried
in the 'rich text' formatting, in the headers and subject.

didn't scream about this message so...]

AS you were showing NO attachments but that is where I
got infected (tracing back after getting rid of it and installing
updates and upgrades to prevent reinfection) and the second
time I got it from you I picked apart the message.

Go to the Norton website, and you can download the latest
and greatest of their software and use it for 30 days.  Do
go to the Microsoft website and update your Outlook Express
to the latest and greatest too.  Both will help you get rid of
and keep from getting it back.

You're going to have to do a serious cleanoff, use Norton
for several days to keep it from coming back from another
source, and switch to the simple 'plain text' format.

This variant of KAK doesn't need an attachment, if it gets
into your system, it sneaks along in your email without you
or the recipient knowing until bingo, you're caught.

:)  I'd much rather play with my gerbils than f(ahem) with
my computer to get it to work, and I'm sure the rest of
the forum agrees <g>

Good luck, and play with your gerbies after you get this
fixed as an extra reward.

I do apologize.  I, in no way, wanted to infect anyone with the KAK.
Whenever I think I am rid of it, it seems to reappear!  Please let me know
if you are still getting your virus warnings.  It should be gone now.

Thanks,

Kelly Harris
