What is the KAK worm? Is this different from the I love you one? I use Outlook Express but have a Mac, and from what I've read about the ILY one it only affects PCs with Windows - at least Symantec's antivirus info seems to indicate that. I did run my Norton Antivirus after getting the latest update with no problems found...but don't want to inadvertently spread any of these if it is capable of being passed on to PCs by my use of OE even if it is in a "benign" form on my computer. I can always switch over to Netscape's email program, if so. Beth -- Commit Random Acts of Kindness
