Janet,
I apologize it has taken me a couple of days to write back, but SAS is Super
Anti Spyware. The address to read about and get the free edition which I use
is below. If link is not active when it hits the list then just copy and
paste and it should take you where you need to go.

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.
