email virii

[bigpuma]

lately I have been getting a lot of virii picked up by Norton when I am downloading my email messages to MS Outlook (not express).
NAV always picks them up and quarantines them and I have been deleting the files along with the suspected emails without opening them.

I keep my NAV up to date and run a system scan every week. I have never found anything other than these files that are picked up immediately by NAV. I have also run housecall from the Web but it did not pick up anything. Is there something else I should worry about? Is there something else I should do for these?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

BP

I'd worry about all my friends who seem to be getting these virii and passing them along. Sounds like you've done a good job of protecting youself.

I would bet that most of them are the Klez worm - this one is running wild.

Man, you got that right. I've worked on 6 machines in as many days that had that little bugger.

I can't complain too much - I made $600 Thursday cleaning this $#@&% off a network. I would have given the customer a break but they hadn't updated their virus defintions since Feb 1 - so I billed true straight time - 6 hours at $100 an hour. It put itself on every shared drive in the place and almost brought the NT server down. 8 of 14 workstations were infected.

LOL... Yea, you know, I wish I could get more calls like that.
