Hi Ochrid,

[EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marek Mikus:

MM>> why? You can't be infected from text in message body.

No. To "to it's nasty job" a virus needs to be in a position to be
executed; to have its instructions processed by the CPU or by an
interpreter. To do this, the instructions have to appear in an
executable form. A "message body" is not executable. Never. Not by any
means. It only becomes executable once the virus is removed from the
message body and saved in an executable form. Then it once again
becomes a risk. But the moment you do that AVG will scream. So you're
safe.

O> (As you can see: I am no expert, but want to be well protected).

Indeed you aren't and indeed you are <g>.
