If you are using an email program which provides "rules" for incoming
messages, you can set up a rule that searches for that text which
accompanies the virus. Then have the rule route it to your deleted folder.
Personally I know that Outlook and Groupwise can do this, but Eudora,
Netscape and the rest should handle it also.

BTW - I've just received my first copy of that file. But my free copy of
ZoneAlarm, the firewall software, filtered it for me. IMHO ZoneAlarm is one
seriously excellent program.
