I believe the response was in regards to my message that included the
results from my SAS full scan.

I don't know what you mean--more contextual information is necessary.

Cookies are text files. These are not cookies.

Create an email folder named "virus" or just about anything you want and

you download your mail.
You can also create a message rule so that any email messages from the
specific sender will be automatically deleted.
Go to tools and look for a message rules option.

I completed the full scan with both MSE and SAS. SAS found two items that
appear to be cookies "scan.mediascout.com" and another one called
"secure.imrworldwide.org" I believe the second was .org possibly though
it
could have been .com. If it is pertinent then i can retrieve it because I
saved the two that it found. MSE did not find anything. I figured that
would
be the results with MSE because it is running all the time anyways. Can
that
email be placed on the block list and still allow my professor's emails
to
come through as they should? As far as I know with the bogus email's
address
being hidden I have no way of comparing the two addresses. If there is a
way
to unhide it then please let me know. Thanks

Do a complete virus scan, Josh. Check the headers in your email client
to see if the addresses between the legit & bogus 1 differ.

Friends,
I have a professor that has been infected by a virus, he is
aware
of
this, but this is what is happening: I receive emails containing the
lesson
plans for the next day that contains his full name. These lesson plans
come
from his school email address. I recently have started receiving emails
with
only his first name and last name "Tim Haskins" rather than the actual
email
that comes "Timothy Haskins". The first time I got this email I did not
pay
much attention to the way the email was listed as far as the name goes.
I
clicked on the link and got a warning message saying this link is
possibly
infected so I aborted before proceeding and emailed him about this. The
email list his shortened name and then only the date.
Two questions arise out of this. One, if I add the shortened name to
the
block list in OE will it still allow the actual emails to be delivered
to
my
inbox? If it will still allow the email with the full name to be
delivered
how do I go about adding this bogus email to my block list, I am sure
that
it is probably just a click of a button while sitting on the open email
but
exactly where is this selection found? Second question I have been
getting
these emails on a regular basis have I already been infected? If so
will
MSE
take care of this particular virus? I will continue to search Google
for
the
answers, but any help offered on this matter will be greatly
appreciated.
