Why don't you scan your PC with an anti-virus program? Or try an online free scanning by most of the AV scanner company (www.antivirus.com is an example..) Max

Dear All, An e-mail virus hurt my computer (don't be scared I'm using yahoo.com for this message). Some of my friends compainted to me that any time they send an e-mail to me they received almost instantly an attachment having .pif extension. There are 3 different files attached (only one per each reply) called: readme.txt.pif, card.pif or fun.pif.(indeed the replies apear in my send box) When I send an e-mail to my friends they get it with no attachment or other problems. No other evil action has been taken apparently yet(fortunately??) on my computer but I'm scared. Can someone tell me what virus is it and how can I clean up my computer ? Thank you in advance ! Daniel PS I'm using Windows98 and Outlook Express. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send FREE video emails in Yahoo!
