One of the most common virus going today is the KAK Worm and KAK WormB. This is in the body of the email message using Active-X and is generally missed by virus scanners, unless they are updated on a regular basis. With this virus there is NO attachment, it just runs when the email is viewed unless you get the patch from Microsoft if you use OE or Outlook.
Go to www.symantec.com and download the fix for this. To determine if you have that virus, go to START.. FIND.. FILES or FOLDERS, in the top line enter kak and have it look on the C: drive. IF the window shows ANY files with that name in them, you have the virus.
Good Luck.... Dick
