I have a simple test to determine if any windows executable that I received via E-mail is a virus or not: If I received it, it's a virus. I can't remember having sent or received a legit .exe (or .pif, or .scr) in E-mail, ever. Lots of .zip's, but no directly-executable files. This -despite- using a PC during the day for the last 4 years. Wanna see how -really- stupid Windows is? Look up ".shs" for a scary file type. -- Charlie Watts [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
