But at least we know it's virus free!

(Sorry, couldn't resist. Here's the tip-tithe)

<tip type="Anti Virus" author="Boris Mann">

AVG, available from http://www.grisoft.com, is quite a good anti-virus
program for Windows that is free to use. It will even integrate with
Outlook/Outlook Express and scan your email.

However, emails without attachments really don't need to be scanned. Go
into options and turn off email scanning unless there is an attachment.
