I've seen things like that before. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ -- If this email is spam, report it here: http://www.onlymyemail.com/view/?action=reportSpam <http://www.onlymyemail.com/view/?action=reportSpam&Id=ODEzNjQ6OTIyMjUzMTgwO nBqcEBwc25ldC5jb20%3D> &Id=ODEzNjQ6OTIyMjUzMTgwOnBqcEBwc25ldC5jb20%3D THIS ELECTRONIC MESSAGE AND ANY ATTACHMENTS ARE CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY PROPERTY OF THE SENDER.
