anyone else seeing these things? i'm getting them a few times a day now.
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.

You can scan it in linux with ClamAV I think.
Sorry I don't have the specifics on how to though.
