Yes, I'm getting the same type of crap. emails from people i don't know
saying things like, "I have created the following attachment for your
review" etc etc. I also have NAV and it usually will pick up on a virus even
before I get to see the email...but these it did not respond to. The file
attachments had dual extensions...ie mypaper.doc.nvt or something like that.
I also simply DELETE the email without ever OPENING the attachment...which
is how yoou go about getting the virus. :-)

Strange how this list keeps getting infected????
