It would be wise to set your internet security setting to such a level that activeX
scripts cannot run, unless you give them explicit permission.
I saw Evan's email and couldn't figure out what the hell he was doing trying to run
Active X on email. Hope you get rid of it okay, everyone.

I recently received the KAK.hta worm through an innocent email from my
brother. It was on 4-23-00, I had not recently updated my virus files,
needless
to say I have now.
It is easy to tell if you have it, it only works in OutLookExpress, click on
tools, and then options, and then signatures, look to see if the box is
checked that says 'use signatures', then look in the lower text window for
the default signature file of KAK.htm or KAK.hta.
If you have it, it will be there. It is not that hard to get rid of though,
but it does take quite a few clicks as the worm goes into several different
areas of your system.
