Another Virus Question

[Alan R. Barnard]

I get the same message every time and immediately after I send a message.
The iland people say it must be a virus or some such and they can't help.
I've run AVG twice, with the latest upgrades, and it found no virus. Yes, I
use OE. What is a "real email program?"

Possible explanation is some one on the list who has emailed you
privately has a virus -  the type that fakes headers and takes one of
the email address out of the address books you are the unlucky one -
what you need is a full email off some one who has received one of these
emails  that look like they came  from you. From the header you can see
who it really is. He/she logs on to get mail form piano tech and send
out a fresh batch of viruses.

All have one thing in common outlook express most email viruses use the
IFRAME exploit  to launch.  if everyone  dumped OE and used a true email
program that stuck to the rules 90% of viruses would disappear
overnight.
