    Might need to update your Norton signature Lenny - mine went gaga as soon as the attachment arrived on my machine yesterday

    Tried to do a scan there, my norton av is ****ed.
    keep getting error messages when i try to scan,
    I think its cause I did a repair on w2k there last week, and some programs had to be reinstalled.
