Microsoft has provided an update for Outlook to prevent these types of virusses (or is it viri?) to get into your system. I got it off their update website. For Outlook 98 the update is called "o98secu.exe". And this morning it did its thing with this particular problem. When I brought the offending (not you CD) e-mail up, it warned me that I would not be able gain direct access to the attachment. By the way, without disrespect to any TechNetter, any message with attachments I typically delete immediately without opening, unless I have very, very specific reasons to read it. So when you have material to share, make it part of the message rather then attaching it.
