With regard to the LINK.VBS virus, it seems it is another "send yourself to everyone on the current victim's mailing list"-type virus - which means it *could* come from a source that is normally quite unimpeachable. The message below is a useful follow-up to the original warning: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you were to double click on the attachment, I suspect that the VB Script would access files on your hard drive and mail copies of itself to addresses your Contacts folder. I did the wrong thing and got a porno site and a desktop icon. The virus detector detected the virus and deleted c:\WINDOWS\TEMP\LINK.VBS c:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\RUNDLL.VBS being the only two contaminated files. If you got this virus then delete the email, delete the desktop icon and delete the above two files and hope it is not anywhere else. It came from somewhere I would have normally trusted. So be warned Regards Trevor Croll ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Regards Andy B. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
