Funny. It didn't get intercepted by NAV, and I have the latest
definitions. Also doesn't show up on a scan of my 'pooter.

I know as i have just done exactly this. caught it before any damage

Which virus is it? I'm also curious as to how merely clicking on a web
page can get you infected with a virus.

Stephen
