Hi NeuTRin0

Nice to meet You

It alerted me that a Virus was there and Who it was from etc.

when i saw it, i of course did not open it.

My buddy wanted to look at it but when i went to forward it to him my AVG Virus checker then picked it up and would not allow me to forward it.

So it got it before the virus checker did.

Worked well

Hi NeuTRin0

If You do not have a good Virus Checker as well, Try this one.

AVG 6.0 Anti-Virus System

Both are Freebies and Excellent

Sometimes it's hard to get and you may have to use Refresh to lock on.

Good Luck

thanks but i do have a virus program, i use norton corporate edition.

that washer program, is proving to be useful i will test it with a virus in a while, but i do like the option of checking my emails without having to open outlook.

im having some problems with one of my walls and washer, but it was said at the site, that a fix will be out soon.

i feel that there seems to be alot more viruses around these days, so the more programs we have intercepting can only be a good thing.

thanks.

Hi NeuTRin0 & Randy

As you say NeuTRin0 there are lot's of Viruses out there now. I heard today that there is a new one born every 6 minutes.

I'm with you, the better the Defence the happier i am.

Yes the Snow Whote has been out there for awhile i guess Randy.

Silly i jusy installed the MailWasher a couple of days ago and Bingo, other Virus checker no doubt would have got it but ??? you never know.

Thanks for responding Guy's

Have a great evening
