Dear List, Please need some help. Found I had this virus in my autoexec.bat file and the kak.??? files on my hard drive. Corrected these. Did not find entries in my registry. Does that mean that I haven't rebooted since receiving the virus? That tells me I received it the same day I found it. I forwarded the email from "Giles" dated 4/22/00 1AM to many in my address list warning them of the virus and how to correct it. On the same day Friend "A" received the forwarded message, I found it in the same places but not in the registry. Does that mean I sent A the virus? Two others report not getting virus from that message but I'm not 100% sure if their systems are equivalent (OS/mail reader/anti-virus software). Is there a way to determine if the email I sent had the virus? How can I be sure I'm not sending the virus to others? I've followed the directions, didn't find it in my registry and have applied the Microsoft patch. TIA Dave Scott PIC/PICList FAQ: http://www.piclist.com or .org
