whats worse is I got one from my hanksmith.net support team 1 I don't have a support team it gave me a readme.zip with a .exe and a password to inter to unlock the program what was even dumber of me was I launched the stupid thing before I knew what it was. I scanned with avg and it didn't find any viruses so don't know if this was a virus or what it was but I got something simular. if I do have a virus the question is what is it? and where can I get a removal tool? thanks hank ----- Original Message ----- From: <showell@xxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 3:55 AM Subject: mail viruses > Folks, > > Yes there are some amazing viruses or whatever you want to call them > running amuck.
