I'm getting these every day. I'm getting them on my e-mail account I use on Linux, and not on my e-mail business account which I use with Windows 98. So as a result I'm not getting a report from Norton on whether the .gif is a virus. I was thinking of forwarding one of these to my business e-mail address to see if Norton would detect a virus on it. But then it occurred to me that it might be illegal to "knowingly" transmit a virus over the net. So maybe the next time I get one of these, I'll save it to a floppy, reboot, and let Norton examine the floppy.
