But my email program does not have that anti-virus checker. That was actually typed into the body of the email manually.

The attachment, on the other hand, DID have a virus.

[mercinary]

Ahhh ok. I follow now. Out of curiousity...what virus?

Will you post the header of the e-mail too?

That virus is derived from the original Netsky virus, seems it might be strain Netsky-P.
