Subject: The unfortunate case of opening the attachment...

Hey,
Well I'm not sure if anything serious has happened yet. But I did try to
open the file attachment not realizing what it was. Stupid me. Normally I
don't do it. But I thought this was a friendly group and did give it a
second thought. My AVP (Anti Viral Toolkit Program) picked up something
and it appears to have possibly written some code into wsock32.mtx.
Unfortunately I couldn't even disinfect or remove it. AVP couldn't access
it and I'm running WinME right now. If I could get to DOS from bookup I
could delete probably. But Win ME doesn't give ya that ability. I hate
Microsoft. I should regress back to Win98SE. Strange thing is I don't
know where wsock32.mtx comes from because I checked all the cab files on
the WinME disc and nowhere to be found. AnywayZ....

Take it easy,
Darren
