That's OK PB. I was thinking about trying our IP provider's free
anti-virus/spam/adware program anyways So far it is working great. Yes, the original email was from an Outlook 2002 user.

If it's McAfee Security Center, don't bother. Even AVG Free's better than
that, but not that much better. Jim in Canada wrote: That's OK PB. I was thinking about trying our IP provider's free anti-virus/spam/adware program anyways So far it is working great.

My IP provider is Shaw (CDN).
They offer a free version of F-Secure to their customers: http://shawsecure.ca/shaw_secure.php Jim "PA Bear [MS MVP]" wrote: If it's McAfee Security Center, don't bother.
