>>John Dickinson's post (subject: Liddel & Scott) was infected with a
virus that my Norton Anti-Virus detected. Fair warning to all
listmembers.<<

Yes, and one I've never seen before. It tries to run an "Active X"
application through the web browser. I had set up IE 5.5 to warn me of
such requests and when it asked me about it I did not let it execute.
Others may not have been so lucky!

I don't think I have ever heard of a virus that can be executed by
opening an e-mail message without opening any attachments! Is this
new?
