bicycle re, "Are those who do not have Visual Basic Scrips enabled on their system immune to this type of attack?" very good point. yes they are. and as i recall, zonealarm protects against these attachments, as well as norton antivirus email protection. not too long ago on this thread we discussed how to disable VBScript, and even whether it was necessary if za was handling the job. here's a pcworld article on how to change how your pc handles these files.... How to Trick the Anna Worm Antivirus software helps, but a simple PC tweak can also protect you from VBS-based viruses Tom Mainelli, PCWorld.com, and Rod Ream, special to PCWorld.com Tuesday, February 13, 2001 pcworld.com :) mark
