I can't afford to get a virus,hell-I can't even afford to pay attention so I use the ""Free"" web based e-mail accounts to receive my e-mail, Hotmail.com is the best as far as I can tell because they automaticly scan all attachments for viruses and they stay current, even though I have received several e-mails with viruses attached so far not one has made it onto my system. the POP Mail the you use Outlook Express or Outlook to retrieve can be checked by importing them into your hotmail account instead of downloading them straight into you inbox on your computer system. I got the same alert you all did and I wrote Nerici to ask what the empty 41kb e-mail was about, I was told it was a virus that had attached to their address book and self exported to all addresses, even though I got it sent to me at 3 different addresses it never made it to my system because of the security at Hotmail.com Just a thought?
