Oh, yes, of course they, especially since the format is nearly extinct and can't contain a Windows PE program, *everyone* must know that a .COM is an executable. > It DOES NOT pose as a web site.

It says 'I have attached a link to my website', and the attachment is called 'www.whatever.yahoo.com'. That looks like a HURL to most users. If it doesn't pose as a web site, why are those users who run it clicking on it? > As seen in my email client program there is nothing to click on. > The virus is sent as inserted text, being a UUENCODED file. And your e-mail client is? How does it differ from the most common e-mail clients on the target platform? Outlook Express, Netscape and Pegasus certainly display an attachment to click on. > There > is no hyperlink to click on unless you are using some really weird > and unusual email client program Who said anything about hyperlinks? The message says there's a link attached. And there is indeed a file to click on. Problem is, it's not a link to a web site, it's program. And yes, it is possible to attach a link to a website for Windows users. Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
