Lilhunter,
You can go to: www.norton.com and look under Tools & Downloads, click on virus removal tools, and often get the removal tool for the particular virus you have. This has worked better for me than the full anti-virus program. You can also download thje latest version of the full program, but it takes several hours unless you have DSL or similar fast connection. Hope you get rid of it, they should bring back public floggings for people who develop these things.

Dan, you might want to get a yahoo email acct. too. They scan all incoming or outgoing attachments (via Norton). It's saved my butt more than a couple of times. I use Mcafee as does my wife and daughter, yes we all have our own puters, and it does a good job of keeping the system clean. Norton is a good program too.

Dan,

Thanks for posting this warning! It will benefit everyone who may receive one of the errant e-mails and do not have virus protection on their machines.

For all, we've spent lots of bucks, even if we haven't shot one <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>, during the hunting season, now that it is over, for most, do yourself a favor and spring $50 and get either Norton or McAfee anti-virus to protect your computer. It is money well spent. Norton, and in the past McAfee, has saved me many times from lots of heartache and grief.
