Jeri, I scanned my computer with an up-to-date version of Norton Antivirus (NAV) this morning, before I deleted the suspect e-mail message. NAV did not detect any problem, but Outlook Express gave me a warning that the message contained unsafe Active-X controls that would not be run. Is that the way it's supposed to work? Does that mean NAV wouldn't pick up the worm unless my computer was infected? If I had forwarded the suspect message, would I have forwarded the worm? -Joe-
