Brian, it is most likely just one of those viruses that replicate itself to every email address in a person's Outlook address book. In which case somebody that had your email address was probably recently infected. Chances are it was a virus auto-replicating itself and not a direct attack posted to you. The poster's name being John, could just be a wild goose chase although you could check the properties on John and probably get a full email address.

Little off topic. So far, I received 2 ******.***.scr viruses. Do not worry, I do not allow .scr to execute on my system. The last virus came from 'John'. Since I don't personally know any John's, I thought it may have come from someone on this board. ____________ Brian Guralnick * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
