I get such messages as well, you see, and I am quite happy that ISPs delete/remove viruses. (Might be annoying for AV software developers, as they cannot send themselves test files, though.) As many users, not only at home but also in offices, do not keep their AV software updated and click on any attachement that says "click here", action by the ISPs is the only way to stop the rapid spread of viruses, IMHO. > The sender's e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] .I don't > know them and have never sent them any message. How did they get my > e-mail address? That was most likely not the sender, but the virus on the infected computer (and you cannot know what computer that is) will have had this address on the HD. Very much like your address was found. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
