So,if I understand you correctly, it is a text printout of the 
contents of an infected file, given as an example?  And therefore a 
harmless one, since nothing can activate.  Well, we have used similar 
quotes on the list before when discussing the problem.

Doesn't look as though it's anything to worry about Troy, but Joe's 
right - it would probably look alarming to the virus scanner.

LOL! Sorry, I never thought of that...

Anyway, all I said in the mail is that it's not an infected package, it's just
that there's an *example* of an e-mail 'infected' with the iframe exploit.

  The ultimate question is now, I wonder if my server is infected.

 It's just a text file that comes in the package. Since it's called
 'nimda', AVG is picking it up. It would pick up anything with the
 word 'nimda'

Troy - I never saw your original mail.  Joe may well be right, but I'd 
still ask the question at [EMAIL PROTECTED], just to be

It's an example of a mail which is infected with Nimbda, IIANM, since Nimbda
