Good advice - thanks very much :-)
These self opening viruses
(people have kindly sent me several
- inadvertently)
mostly attack the most common
software used in business - Windows Outlook and
Outlook express
By changing to a more secure freeware email program
such as PEGASUS MAIL (probably the most secure
of the freebies)
http://www.pmail.com/
or Eudora Mail
http://www.qualcomm.com/eudora
you can stop the self opening
BUT should still obtain virus software such as
this FREE (and very good)
email virus catcher AVG
http://www.grisoft.com
This program has an auto-update facility
(which is on by default)
An out of date virus catcher
lulls you into a false sense of security
. . . so update and do a check :-)
you might like to educate yourself about virus
scams (a virus ate my hard disk type stories)

another good free virus catcher is F-Prot
If you want to pay money (strange but true . . .)
people use Norton to good effect
