If I knew that, I'd be dangerous.

The McAfee site says that it looks for M$ Outlook and unread messages.  My 
suspicion is that it may find such things in the trash. (I empty my trash 
every session)   Also, I use Eudora, so that is why I _think_ I have not 
sent out any "attachments".  (If I have, let me know.)  I did find the 
beasty files and erased then manually, so now I see a "file not found" 
message when I boot, but later I'll go into my autoexec.bat file to delete 
that instruction.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, 
then used against you.
