ted, re: your virus It is a worm. As someone else noted, there is are several variants of the W32.Klez worm going around these days. I seem to get a couple per week and one of my mailing lists gets it daily. From my observations it doesn't work in Netscape mail as NAV notes it and kills it from the AOL spam. A partial description from Symantec: When this worm is executed, it does the following: It copies itself to \%System%\Wink<random characters>.exe. NOTE: %System% is a variable. The worm locates the Windows System folder (by default this is C:\Windows\System or C:\Winnt\System32) and copies itself to that location. Full description: securityresponse.symantec.com@mm.html Farther down the page is a link to a removal tool and also a note that NAV will not start after the worm has activated. -PT
