Re: Question about .eml files I am finding

Just ran a virus scan capable of finding the Nimda Virus on my pc and it
claims no viruses are found. Now there should be NO one else trying to share
that directory lots of fails (roadrunner everyone tries to screw everyone it
seems) So I dont know how else to see if this pc is infected. Maybe detach
the server from the network and see if those eml files propogate again.
