That little WORM SCam.32 got me this morning. It came in on a
email I opened but didn't even detach file (*.PIF file). I update my
gateways antivirus file weekly and I have two different programs
that check email passing but this one was added to virus def file
day after I last updated. What have we got to do, start updating
daily!
