I have rec 6 email attachments today with the virus in them..My Norton antivirus has been working overtime.

One is Subj:Snow white and the seven drawfs
Another one is: WScript.Kak worm.dr (unknown 0806.data)
They may be the same I don't know.
For those interested you can download Norton anitvirus 2001 on free trial from their website.
I just downloaded it last nite.
My old Macfee antivirus was out dated.
With this Norton you can download update straight from their website.

Tuck,
No they are not the same. I have been receiving that Snow White email since well before Christmas.
You should also go to "Find files and Folders" and type in "Snow White" and delete the "dat" files it leaves behind every time it arrives in your email, even though you delete it from the email program without opening it. It leaves something in the Temporary Internet Files and I don't like it sitting there so I dump it. Just make sure you don't dump anything you shouldn't.

By the way, took a look at your bus website. Your bus, sure is looking good.
Peter.

Norton will isolate it before it goes to the drive and allow you to delete it right then. I got the WScript tonight and Norton grabbed it.j
