THREE WEEKS! That's ancient history in virus scanning. We are a Domino
shop. We use Trend Micro's Scan Mail. We have it configured to download
new pattern files from them 4 times a day. And I've seen them come out
with pattern files faster than that. And the virus protection which runs
on each PC is updated with new pattern files on a daily basis.
User: "Help desk, why does my hard drive go nuts about twice a day, and I
am not even doing anything?"
Help Desk: "One, it updates the virus protection on your PC on a daily
basis. Two, the backup software saves all volatile data on your PC. Don't
turn your PC off at night."
User: "Thank you."
But we're kind of getting off of RPG aren't we?

Aye. I will never open an attachment until I know exactly what it is,
what it contains, and what program will process it.
And if I'm unsure about an attachment, I will save it to my C:\temp
directory, browse to that directory, right click and properties (which
I did to this file when I saw it was .PIF)
Curiously enough, this got through my e-mail server virus detection.
Better go make sure it's up to date (thought I updated it 3 weeks ago)
