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. PT, you guessed it...Winkygr.exe was a variation of W32.Klez. Its gone now. I am surprised it did not do more damage. Was it just a nuisance worm, or does it do more damage over time? Its really incredible.....first that I would be so stupid as to down load something from an email sender I did not know. Plus I had turned off NAV so that I could defrag just before checking out the email. Do you think the worm did anything to my NAV2001 CD? It was having all kinds of problems when I tried to reload the program tonite. Thanks for the link. I've been lucky. That was my first worm and I have yet to get a virus. It pays to be careful. ted
