Avast! found a virus in an email message I received today. I was not put at risk by having to open it before Avast! could detect it. When I started Outlook Express, their servers virus scanned my incoming mail and reported the offending email message to me. So I just deleted it. BTW, it was the Bugbear virus. Pretty slick. I know I've gotten infected messages in the past that I recognized as suspicious and deleted without opening. AVG never reported these to me. I assumed that if I tried to open these attachments AVG would kick in. Well ... I wasn't going to tempt fate just to see if AVG was doing its job with email. Esteban
