Thanks for such a quick response! I am not running
windows 2000/xp or 2000/nt. I am running win 98. I am
running stand alone with a telephone line. Also, I do not
open attachments that I do not first run through my McAfee
software. If it is an exe file, I don't see how the exe
could have run on my computer. Any other suggestions?
Thanks again!
