just lately I have gotten a virus in email, and AVG found a virus in my system restore folder!! The email virus was obviously from someone who had their addressbook hijacked, I didn't know the sender. It was one of those cute" here is a new program, you are the first to try it"... As for common sense, I get emails from people I KNOW, that have attachments, but I'd STILL never open them without AVG checking it! -- Paul Using The Bat! v1.63 Beta/5 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
