Hmmm, sounds weird. If Norton cannot detect it, how do you know it's a virus??? Anyway, what OS are you using? Do you run a firewall? When was the last time you updated your virus defs? Give us some details please so we can help you. First off all, anyone that uses Outlook Express is at risk for the simple fact that your emails open up automatically when you start OE, BAD BAD MICROSOFT! You can set up OE rules under the "tools" tab, then "message rules", then "mail" tab. You create a rule that does not allow email with attachments to be opened.,. and all such messages goto the deleted files folder. And even better for those not to computer Savvy, is not to use OE at all, it is full of bugs and holes, use Yahoo email instead.
